Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him a sufferer of ‘Modi phobia.’ In a post on the social media platform X, Shinde said that Rahul Gandhi sees only Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whether awake or asleep, and whether he sits or stands. Unless he mentions the Prime Minister’s name, he neither makes news nor remains in the media headlines.
Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, taking aim at Rahul Gandhi’s phone tapping allegations, said that he is resorting to baseless, fabricated, and childish allegations to save his sinking political boat and remain in the news. He has no concrete issues, no vision for development, and no evidence to support his allegations.
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde sarcastically said that Rahul Gandhi only claims to have evidence but does not present it. Their only job is to make new allegations and create new narratives every day.
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that on one hand, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is setting new records of development, while on the other hand, opposition leaders are bringing disrepute to themselves with their statements. Taking aim at Rahul Gandhi, Shinde said that the saying ‘a disgruntled cat scratches the pole’ fits him perfectly.
It should be noted that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of phone tapping, after which political rhetoric has intensified. On Rahul Gandhi’s allegation, BJP leader and Union Minister BL Verma said that Rahul Gandhi has been making such allegations in the past as well, but he has no proof.
