TIL Desk/National/Amethi/ RSS leaders talk about Mahatma Gandhi but follow Nathuram Godse, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi today told party workers here as he accused the Hindutva organisation of trying to distort history.
“The RSS had no contribution in the freedom struggle but they distort history. On the other hand Congress leaders have contributed for the country in every way including in the freedom movement,” a Congress leader quoted Rahul Gandhi as saying at a meeting here with the party’s cyber workers.
The Congress president alleged that RSS leaders talk about Mahatma Gandhi but consider Godse as their idol. Rahul Gandhi said the Congress’ social media team would be expanded and party-men would be trained so as to give a befitting reply to RSS propaganda.
The Congress chief also hit out at the “tall promises” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi claiming the much talked about bullet train might not materialise at all. “It should not be called a bullet train. It should be referred to as a magic train…It will never take shape…If at all it is ever made, it is going to be in Congress regime,” Rahul Gandhi, who arrived on two day visit this morning, said.
