New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi saying the Congress leader is "learning to give speeches" while also hitting out at former PM Manmohan Singh and former finance minister P Chidambaram for their criticism of demonetisation.
Modi also ridiculed Rahul's threat that his corruption charges against the prime minister would cause an "earthquake". "Now that their young leader has spoken, we have seen what the earthquake is all about," he said to loud cheers from the gathering at his constituency.
Continuing his attack on the young Congress leader, the PM said all the while he was not sure what kind of a "packet" he was." Now we know what is inside this packet," he added.
