Even though he did not mention the name of the Prime Minister, BJP says that Rahul promoted Modi himself. With this, BJP leaders have come forward to criticize Rahul. BJP demanded Rahul Gandhi’s apology.
‘Rahul Gandhi, what happened to you? You are using such words against the Prime Minister of the country. Our PM met the players and motivated them. Winning and losing is part of the game. Rahul Gandhi should apologise,’ said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad.
