Children never died of dengue in Congress rule: Rahul Gandhi

A day after making a ‘sexiest’ comment on former First Lady Michelle Obama admiring utensils while cooking in her kitchen, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has come with another remark that is likely to take the internet by storm.

Addressing a convention of Congress workers at Ram Lila Maidan, Rahul said “Is baar jo bachche dengue ke kaaran mare, kya Congress ke samay wo marte thay? Nahi” (Did the children who die due to dengue this time succumb during the Congress’ rule? No)

He further attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for playing politics of false promises as he set the tone of his party’s campaign for upcoming civic polls in the national capital.

Gandhi targeted both Modi and Kejriwal for leading individual-centric governments.

“Both Modi and Kejriwal engage in politics of false promises,” Gandhi said as he listed poll promises Modi and Kejriwal had made ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha and 2015 Delhi assembly polls respectively.

He said the Congress governments echo voice of every countryman.

Gandhi also attacked Modi over the recent killings of Indians in the US.

“Modi ji talks about 56-inch chest, right? When our youth are being killed…why he is not speaking? Because India’s Prime Minister is scared of speaking up (to the US),” Rahul said.
