Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his China visit, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said today he would remain silent on the Doklam issue during his talks with President Xi Jinping, and wondered where his '56 inch chest' has gone.
He also slammed Modi over his "silence" on alleged corruption by BJP leaders, including its chief Amit Shah's son.
" " "
Invoking 12th century social reformer Basavanna who" taught people 'Nudidante nade' (practise what you preach), Gandhi said, "If there is no weight in what you speak, then there is no meaning."
Referring to the alleged involvement of an Uttar" Pradesh BJP MLA in a rape case, he said, "The new slogan is" only 'Beti Bachao, Beti Bachao' (save your daughters) from BJP leaders. Narendra Modi, the country's chowkidar, did not utter a word on their MLA indulging in rape."
