New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday launch­ed a scathing attack on PM Modi for his feeble China diplomacy, cheating the you­th and farmers of the country, destroying institutions and favouring industrialists. At the national convention of minorities department of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, Rahul Gandhi enthused party cadres by declaring that Narendra Modi’s image is finished.

“We are not going to play on the backfoot. You don’t need to panic even for a second. Today, Modi is not even able to thank the Congress workers who have given a big fight to the BJP and shown the country a way,” Gandhi roared amid loud cheers.

Rahul repeatedly called upon BJP leaders to ask Modi to join him on stage for a five-minute debate on national security and economic policies. “Come for five minutes. Everything will become crystal clear. I will defeat him. He will run away (Rahul stepped back from the dais aping Modi’s retreat). He is a coward who turns away when he is confronted with facts.

We will defeat the BJP, RSS and Modi in the upcominjg general election. The Congress has now decided to give the BJP a challenge on various fronts—be it the issue of farmers, unemployment or Rafale or the North-east. You are from the Congress. You are lion cubs. In three months, people will show them the country is bigger than them. Modi wants to run the country from the front while the RSS chief, Mohan Bhagwat wants to remote control governance.”

The Gandhi scion said, “The Chinese tested Narendra Modi and sent their troops to Dokhlam. Modi flew to Beijing to hold talks without an agenda with the Chinese government. Understand the depth of this— their troops were in Doklam and Modi was in Beijing with folded hands.

The Chinese understood in two minutes that for all the talk of Modi having a 56-inches chest, he only has a four inches chest. I have been fighting Modi for five years and have come to know he is a coward. He has a 56-inch chest. Why does he not have a Press conference or talk to the Press?”

The Congress president said the BJP president Amit Shah has called India a “Sone ki Chidiya” (a golden bird) which means the country is a product from which gold can be extracted and passed on to a select few. On the other hand, for the Congress, the country is like a river which accommodates all ideologies and people regardless of caste, creed, religion and region. “This country is not of any one religion, caste or community.

All of you will get your rightful place in this country as it belongs to each one of us. This a battle of two different ideologies. The RSS wants to run the country from Nagpur, not according to the Constitution. Whenever the country is going through a crisis and makes up its mind for a change, it turns to the Congress party whose leaders served sentences of solitary confinement during the independence struggle.”
