Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister, took aim at Rulai Gandhi and his party, the Congress, by saying they denigrated Hindu kings but dared not scold Moghuls, Nizams, Sultans, and Badshahs.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday scolded Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly insulting maharajas and using epithets but keeping mum on atrocities committed by Muslim rulers such as Shahjahan, Aurangzeb, and others.
Addressing an election rally in Karnataka’s Belagavi, PM Modi said, “The statements made by the Shehzada of Congress (referring to Rahul Gandhi) have been made very thoughtfully to appease their vote bank… But the Shehzada does not say a word about the atrocities committed by the Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans, and Badshahs. Congress does not remember the atrocities committed by Aurangzeb, who destroyed thousands of our temples. Congress forms political alliances with parties that praise Aurangzeb. They do not talk about all those who destroyed our pilgrimage sites, looted them, killed our people, and killed cows.”

The eldest son of Congress actively hurts the image of famous people by saying, for example, “Mr. Rehman is my rival” in a press conference. ’ Pic.twitter.com/DRLnoi2fsO.
The PM spoke about a viral video of Mr. Rahul Gandhi, which was abundantly shared by the national leadership of the BJP. In the clip, the Congress leader is heard saying, “In the time of rule of the kings and maharajas, they made, they decided on their own, even caught somebody’s land, which was impossible. Independence was achieved by the Congress along with the people of the country as well as democracy”.
