In a public address in Dallas, Rahul Gandhi, leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, hit out at the BJP and the RSS. He said that the RSS wanted to keep women in the kitchen. He also said that unlike India, China had no unemployment problem. The BJP hit back by saying that Rahul Gandhi is insulting India and batting for China. According to the BJP, Rahul Gandhi always defames India whenever he goes abroad due to his frustrations with the Congress' performance in recent elections.
