The attack by Rahul Gandhi came a day after the Congress held a Jan Akrosh Rally against the government in the national capital. Speaking at the rally, Rahul Gandhi had said that PM Modi was spreading “lies” against Congress party and its leaders. He accused the BJP and the RSS of sowing seeds of hatred and polarising the country.

The Congress chief had further said his party would win all elections starting with Karnataka and come to power at the Centre in 2019.

"Elections are around the corner. In 2014, the BJP and the RSS machine spread lies against our government. I can tell you here that the Congress party will win Karnataka, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and the 2019 Lok Sabha elections," he said.
Rahul added that while the country believed in a religion that was based on truth in everything, one did "not find the truth" in PM Modi's speeches. In his over half-an-hour address, he targeted the PM on the law and order front, besides alleging "double standards" on corruption, "messing up" of the economy and "failure" to provide safety to women, PTI reported.
