The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his statement on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Union Minister Anurag Thakur said that Gandhi does not refrain from insulting India in each of his foreign visits. He said that Congress does not consider India as a nation and it is their job to speak against PM Modi. Thakur added that they try to erase the credibility that India has built in the world. He said Congress cannot digest the fact that PM Modi is being respected across the world.

"It is said that in the 80s, injustice was done to the Dalits, at that time there was a Congress government in the country. Congress worked with the mentality of slavery. We have taken pride in our culture. Rahul Gandhi insults India, Indians and Indianness by going abroad," Thakur said.

Reacting to Rahul's remarks, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "If India was not a democracy, would any leader be able to go abroad and criticise the duly elected government of the country?"

Notably, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday addressed an event in  San Francisco, the United States where he slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government in India. He said that PM Modi is lying down and since his government cannot work on unemployment, inflation and crumbling education and hence he is doing the 'sceptre thing' and Parliament inauguration. He said this while responding to a question on the increase in the number of seats in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

Rahul Gandhi was speaking with the Indian diaspora in San Franciso, United States. Here, he told the Indian diaspora, "If you believed in anger, hatred and arrogance, you would be sitting in a BJP meeting."

He said that the Modi government tried everything to stop Bharat Jodo Yatra "but its impact kept on increasing"
