PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi indulge in war of words over Rajiv Gandhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday challenged the Congress to fight the last two phases of polls in the name of Rajiv Gandhi, after opposition leaders condemned his "bhrashtachari no 1" remark about the former premier.

"Today I challenge Congress and 'namdar' family from this land to fight the coming Lok Sabha polls of Delhi, Punjab and Bhopal in the name of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi who faced corruption allegations over Boforos," Modi said while addressing a rally at Chaibasa in Jharkhand.
