Congress, BJP exchange barbs over Narendra Modi's speech in US
"PM is devoted to his mother, he touched her feet after his election victory.This is in contrast to the Congress where a mother has ruined the party," Akbar hit Congress as he made a veiled attack on the party president Sonia Gandhi.
"It is this doting behaviour which has made Rahul Gandhi into the spoilt child of Indian politics," he said.
Congress leader Anand Sharma earlier in the day slammed Modi by saying that he insulted his mother by telling she used to clean utensils in others house.
"It is disturbing to see the country is being represented by a showman Prime Minister," Sharma said
Modi on Sunday visited Facebook headquarters, where during the Q&A session hosted by company's Mark Zuckerberg, broke down while talking about the struggles faced by his mother.
Taking the 'damaad' (son-in-law) swipe, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Congress as he addressed the Indian community in San Jose on Monday.
Targeting the Gandhi family and which is seen to be a reference to Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra and the land deals that have triggered controversies, Modi said: "A person made 50 crores, that son made 250 crores , then daughter made 500 crores, someone's damaad (son-in-law) even made 1000 crores."
Modi said he will live and die for his country.
"I can assure you that I will live and die for the nation," Modi said.
