Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi lacks the “courage” to confront US President Donald Trump over his assertion that he stopped the India-Pakistan conflict during Operation Sindoor.
Addressing rallies in Bihar’s Nalanda and Sheikhpura, Gandhi also said the state has become synonymous with paper leaks and poor healthcare.
“Modi was supposed to visit the US… but he is not going because he is scared of Trump,” alleged Gandhi. “If the PM has the courage, let him say that Trump did not stop Operation Sindoor.”
Gandhi said that former PM Indira Gandhi “was an example of a courageous leader”. “If you want to understand what a PM should be like, you should look at what Indira Gandhi did in 1971 when she had told the then US president, ‘we are not afraid of you’,” he said. Corporates “close to Modi” cannot provide jobs to the youth of Bihar, he said.
