M Gandhi's reaction comes a day after PM Modi said BJP suffered more adversities in independent India.
Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today tweeted a prayer for him which asks for freedom from ignorance, a day after PM Modi said that BJP suffered more adversities in independent India than Congress did during British rule.
"Modiji a prayer for you: "Asatoma Sadgamaya Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya Mrityorma Amritam gamaya Om shanti shanti shanti (sic)," Mr Gandhi said in a tweet.
Mr Gandhi was commenting on PM Modi's remarks made while laying the foundation stone of a new party office in Delhi yesterday.
Asserting that the BJP has made more sacrifices than any other party, the Prime Minister had lamented that every effort of his party was seen in "bad light".
"BJP will be the only party which has faced adversities since its birth. It faced difficulties at every turn and its every effort was seen in bad light.
"Even during the British times, the Congress party would not have faced so much adversity that we, our dedicated workers have gone through in 50-60 years," PM Modi had said at the event attended by top BJP leaders including party chief Amit Shah, LK Advani, Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley among others.
