<p>Congress MP and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (June 12) took a&nbsp;jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding his assertion during the Lok Sabha elections that he was guided by God.</p>

<p>After winning Lok Sabha elections from two seats - Wayanad and Rae Bareli - everyone is curious to know which one the leader would like to retain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid this uncertainty, Gandhi recalled one comment made by PM Modi and drew parallels. Gandhi stated that the poor people of India are his guiding force and they are his God.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While speaking at an event in Malappuram, Kerala, Rahul Gandhi remarked, "I have a dilemma in front of me -- Will I be a Member of Parliament of Wayanad or Raebareli? Unfortunately, like the Prime Minister, I am not guided by God. I am a human being."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gandhi also suggested that Modi's divine guidance appears to favour industrialists like Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani.</p>

<p>"You saw how the Prime Minister said ‘400-paar’ which disappeared and then came ‘300-paar’. After that, he said, 'I am not biological. I don't take any decisions. I have been put on this earth by Parmatma and he makes decisions," the Congress leader said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also took a jibe while reacting to Agniveer, a scheme that is sharply divided politically.
