Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of politicising the operations carried by the armed forces.

Mr Gandhi also accused the prime minister of politicising the operations carried by the armed forces. "Army is not Modi ji's personal property. When he says surgical strikes were not done under Congress tenure. He is disrespecting the army," he said.
Here are the live updates on Rahul Gandhi's election campaigning today:
Rahul Gandhi Addresses Poll Rally In UP's Sultanpur:- PM Modi is unable to speak even a word about his earlier promises
- If he had the guts, then he would have said that I had spoken about giving two crore jobs every year in a rush of blood but I have made a mistake. But, this man lacks courage
- A strong leader is the one who accepts the truth. A strong leader is the one who would tender an apology for failing to provide two crore jobs to youngsters and Rs 15 lakh, and then talk about rectification (of the mistake)
- The lion-like Congress workers have burst Mr Modi's balloon which was inflated by the media
- There were six surgical strikes during the tenure of the UPA. The Congress never used it for political purpose and neither wants to say anything now. It gives the credit for this to the Army, and not to the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
- India's ideology is influenced by love. Nothing can be derived from hatred. But, the BJP people speak about violence
Masood Azhar is a terrorist, he must be punished: Rahul Gandhi- Terrorism has to be dealt with sternly. We will deal with it more sternly than Modi government
- We do it with strategy unlike Mr. Modi who does it in events
- Masood Azhar is a terrorist, he must be punished. But who sent him to Pakistan
- Which government bowed before terrorism, sent Azhar to Pakistan? BJP compromises on terrorism
"I made a mistake": Rahul Gandhi on apologising before Supreme Court- I apologised to Supreme Court because a process is going on and I mentioned top court in my comment.
- Yes I made a mistake and apologised for it.
- But Chowkidar chor is a slogan and everyone knows it.
"We promise 22 lakh jobs in first year of coming to power": Rahul Gandhi- Under Nyay yojana, we will focus on helping the poor. But equally important will be our focus on boosting economy.
- NYAY aims to remonetise. As soon as cash is back in flow, market will manufacture... and hence there would be a boost in economy...
- We promise 22 lakh jobs in first year.
"Army is not Modi ji's personal property"- Modi ji often boasts about national security. But isn't that what Army is doing. Army is working since 70 years. what has he done...
- Army is not a personal property of Mr. Modi.
- Surgical Strikes are done by the Armed Forces. When Mr. Modi says Surgical strikes during Congress government were "video games", he doesn't insult Congress, he insults the army
- This is an achievement of army. Congress doesn't politicise the army.
"Narendra Modi destroyed jobs, agriculture": Rahul Gandhi- PM Modi has destroyed jobs and agriculture.
- Modi ji makes no mention of unemployment. If you go anywhere and say Chowkidar, you get a reply "Chor hai".
- Modi ji only focuses on digressing from main issue.
