Rahul not learning with age: Modi
In an obvious attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said some people appeared reluctant to learn with age.\"Some people learn with age but some don\'t,\" Modi said in the Lok Sabha, a day after Gandhi attacked the Prime Minister and his reluctance to take the opposition on board over various issues.
New Delhi: In an obvious attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said some people appeared reluctant to learn with age."Some people learn with age but some don't," Modi said in the Lok Sabha, a day after Gandhi attacked the Prime Minister and his reluctance to take the opposition on board over various issues.
Again, without taking Gandhi's name, Modi recalled how the Congress leader had in 2013 tore before reporters a controversial ordinance of the then Congress government on convicted lawmakers. The incident occurred when then prime minister Manmohan Singh was in the US. This, Modi said, embarrassed the party.
"The ordinance was torn apart when the then honourable prime minister Manmohan Singh was in the US to meet (Barack) Obama. Please learn to respect elders," Modi said as Gandhi listened.MPs from the BJP and its allies thumped their desks in appreciation even as the opposition booed following Modi's remark. Modi said he was being criticized because the Congress was feeling "jealous" with his government's achievements in less than two years -- something "they didn't do in 60 years".
