Only weakest, most drunk challenge village chief: BJP on Rahul Gandhi challenging Modi to debate
Meenakshi Lekhi
BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi said that in a Jat village, the chief is only challenged by the weakest man and the man who drinks the most. 'This is a similar situation,' she added.
Bharatiya Janata Party MP Meenakshi Lekhi on Saturday attacked Congress president Rahul Gandhi over his challenge to prime minister Narendra Modi for an open debate.
The news agency ANI quoted Lekhi as saying that in a Jat village, the chief is only challenged by the weakest man and the man who drinks the most.
"This is a similar situation," she added.
Earlier there were reports that Rahul Gandhi has challenged PMModi for an open debate. In April also he had dared PM Modi for 15-minutes open debate in Parliament. He had said, "PM Modi can't face me in Parliament".
Continuing her attack on Rahul Gandhi, Meenakshi Lekhi also slammed Gandhi over reports of him joining protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi over the Muzaffarpur shelter home case called by RJD leader, Tejshwani Yadav.
