PM Modi hits Congress for dragging his mother into politics

Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Saturday, lashed out at Congress for dragging his mother into politics.

The Prime Minister said that Raj Babbar's remark was completely unacceptable.

Addressing the rally in Madhya Pradesh, the PM said, "When one doesn't have issues to talk about, he resorts to abusing somebody else's mother. They dragged my mother into the muck. It shows that the Congress is helpless and cannot fight Narendra Modi. Since last 17 years, I have challenged Congress and have defeated them."

It is to be mentioned that Raj Babbar, who is the Uttar Pradesh Chief of Congress, had launched a personal attack at PM Modi and compared the devalued rate of the rupee to his mother’s age.

Addressing a poll rally in Indore, Babbar said, "PM Modi used to say that the Indian rupee has fallen so much against the dollar that it was nearing the age of the then prime minister (Manmohan Singh). Today, the rupee’s valuation has dropped so low, that it is inching closer to your (PM Modi) beloved mother’s age.”

It is to be mentioned that PM Modi's mother Heeraben Modi is 97 years old.

PM Modi urged the people to ensure that Congress does not come to power in the state and asked them to compare his governance record in the last four years to that of the Congress in the last four decades.

- This is not a remote-controlled government. This government is run by its people, its youth. I serve the youth of this country, people of this country.

- While his party grows excited as the election date inches closer, those in the Congress camp are worried about losing their deposits. Will their deposits be saved if they abuse Modi's mother.
