Modi mocks at Rahul, says he's power hungry


New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday mocked at Rahul Gandhi for hugging him in the Lok Sabha, saying the Congress President was actually dreaming to be the next Prime Minister and had asked him to get up from his seat in the Lok Sabha.

"In the morning, the voting was not over, the debate was also not over, one member came runnig to me saying - Utho Utho Utho... What is his hurry to come to power," Modi said, gesturing with hands and recalling how Gandhi came to hug him after his speech.

"Let me tell this member it is the people who elected us. That is how we have come here."

He said the opposition was enacting a drama and coming together "to remove one Modi".

"See who all they are trying to bring together. But they should know we are here because we have the blessings of 125 crore Indians. We are not here for selfish interests."

The Prime Minister said the no confidence motion has exposed how the opposition is hungry for power.

"What we saw among members of the Opposition was sheer arrogance. The only thing they have to say - remove Modi. Today the nation has seen the negativity expressed by some members. They are playing negative politics. India saw how some people are so deeply opposed to development."

    Strange behaviour by Rahul during the middle of proceedings. I see the demise of Rahul's political aspirations.

    Rahul's behaviour of hugging pm is very unprofessional!

    It is ok if is done during independence day or birthday party or some public gathering...

    I don't see any political career for Rahul...
    These kind of behaviour should be avoided by all means...

    Is gate-crashing a birthday party by our PM in Pakisthan and thereby embarrassing the entire nation professionalism?

    Whether similar behaviour of Modi is acceptable!?. See how uncomfortable Trump or some European leaders were when Modiji forcibly hugged them!!!. Hug master is Modiji and Rahul returned the compliment in a language Modiji understands!!!

    If Rahul is power hungry then what are you PM. You were CM why did you contest for PM. If Rahul wants to become PM for 2019, give way to him for 2019 and you relinguish your post to judge his performance for next 5 years and then we can make a comparison from 2014 to 2019 and 2019 to 2024.

    Though RG's move was to hug him, Modi didn't even had a courtesy to get up from his seat. Rather he was worried if his seat would be occupied by RG.
    Nothing is permanent in this world.

    Future days will see who is what...
    Modi has failed basic life in the nation...
    Power is not the only aim...
    Commitment and support to the lowest is all that is important...
    Life has only become difficult for general public and even tourists since 2014...
    Time will tell... People will talk...
    2019 may be a victory by a whisker or with coalition with hungry allies...

    In an exclusive interview with India Today Group Editorial Director Raj Chengappa, President Macron has said that if Narendra Modi government wants to divulge some of the critical information covered under the secrecy clause of the deal, France would not object to it.
