Narendra Modi on Tuesday dared Congress President Rahul Gandhi to speak without a paper for 15 minutes during a rally in the poll bound state of Karnataka.
Right from the outset the PM made several jibes at Rahul. “The Congress president is a Naamdaar, so how does he know about the efforts of Kaamdaars,” Modi said, bringing up the reference several times in his speech. In a sarcastic comment, he went on to add, “We are Kaamdaars. What is our level that we can sit with people like the Congress president, who look down on us?”

Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah, while reacting to the statement said that he hopes Gandhi takes up the challenge and PM Modi can speak for two minutes that why the rape and murder of an eight year old is a minor issue.
The National Conference Working President was referring to the statement of newly appointed Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta who said that the Kathua rape and murder case was a ‘minor incident’.
I hope @RahulGandhi takes up the Hon PM’s challenge & speaks w/out using notes for 15 min about the Karnataka Govt & then perhaps we can ask the Hon PM to speak for 2 min about why the rape & murder of an 8 year old girl is “a minor issue”.
