New Delhi, May 5

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday retorted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Bhrashtachaari No. 1” comment for his late father and said the PM should wait for his karma to catch up with him.

The Prime Minister had on Saturday said late PM Rajiv Gandhi, Rahul’s father, ended his life as “Corrupt number 1 after his coterie worked all the time to project him as Mr Clean."

Rahul in a tweet today said: “Modi Ji, The battle is over. Your Karma awaits you. Projecting your inner beliefs about yourself onto my father won’t protect you. All my love and a huge hug. Rahul.”

At a rally in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, Modi had targeted the former prime minister while attacking Rahul.

"Your father was termed Mr Clean by his courtiers, but his life ended as bhrashtachari no 1," Modi had said.

Modi had claimed that Rahul had admitted in an interview that his only aim is to tarnish his image. "By hurling abuses, you cannot turn the 50 long years of Modi's tapasya (struggle) into dust," the prime minister had said.

"By tarnishing my image and by making me look small, these people want to form an unstable and a weak government in the country," he had said. — With PTI inputs
