Silchar, Assam: Rahul Gandhi today hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for launching personal attacks on him but not answering questions posed to him about the burning issues of the day.
The Congress Vice President also said that PM Modi made him listen to the quotes of his father Rajiv Gandhi and grand-mother Indira Gandhi instead of giving a response to his four questions in his speech in Lok Sabha yesterday.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday made a one hour and 15 minute-long speech in Parliament and he made personal attacks on me. He made me listen to Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi's quotes. But did not answer a single question I had asked him. I respect him. He is the country's Prime Minister. I asked him four questions but he did not answer," he said addressing a rally in Barak Valley in Silchar.
He referred to the four questions he had raised in his speech in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
"The third question I asked him was did you consult Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and respect the opinion of the people of the state before announcing the Naga Accord", he said.
In a jibe aimed at Mr Gandhi, PM Modi had yesterday said some people grow in age but not in understanding and claimed that the opposition suffers from "inferiority complex".
Assam is due to go to polls in two phases on April 4 and April 11.
