Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the Congress was traumatised by the growing popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and hence was making demeaning remarks about him.
Addressing a public meeting in Mysuru as part of the election campaign in Krishnaraja constituency on April 29, Rajnath Singh said the ’poisonous snake’ jibe of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge betrayed the desperation of the Congress that Mr. Modi’s mass appeal was not diminishing but continues to increase.
“It is a reflection of the state of mind of Congress, which is distressed and afflicted by trauma because of Mr. Modi’s popularity,” he added.
