Rahul challenges PM to debate him on security, corruption and foreign policy

Congress president Rahul Gandhi Tuesday challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to debate with him on national security, corruption and foreign policy.

Gandhi, while addressing a gathering at its manifesto release event at the party headquarters here, claimed that the prime minister was "scared" and did not want to have a "real debate".

Asked about BJP's pitch on issues pertaining to "Hindus" and nationalism, the Congress chief said: "We all are Hindus, but the country needs employment, there is a need to help the farmers in the country, the country needs NYAY, there is a need to take care of women, give reservation to women."
