PM Narendra Modi slams Rahul Gandhi over 'all Modis are thieves' remark

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday slammed Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his "why are all Modis thieves" barb, adding using derogatory language has become synonymous with the "naamdar" (dynast).

Addressing a rally here, Modi said it has become a fashion for the "naamdar" to speak in derogatory terms.
"Is this the language to speak? We have to throw out such people. Abusive language is the norm. The Sahu community here would have been called Modi in Gujarat. Are they all thieves," Modi said.
Targeting the Congress, Modi said naxal influence in the area where BJP MLA Bhima Mandavi was killed by them, had been considerably reduced. "Why did this happen now," he said, referring to the naxal attack which claimed Mandavi's life.
Mandavi and four security personnel were killed last Tuesday when their convoy was attacked by naxals in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.
Modi claimed that the Congress was "hand in glove" with naxals. Read More
