Where’s the 56 inch chest gone: Rahul mocks PM’s China visit

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his China visit, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said today he would remain silent on the Doklam issue during his talks with President Xi Jinping, and wondered where his ’56 inch chest’ has gone.

He also slammed Modi over his ‘silence’ on alleged corruption by Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, including its chief Amit Shah’s son and for declaring B S Yeddyurappa, who had ‘gone to jail’ as its chief ministerial candidate.

“I have heard that he (Modi) is visiting China. You just see, take it in writing from me. China’s army is sitting in Doklam and he will not utter a word on Doklam in China, you just watch.”

“He (Modi) won’t utter a word, this is 56 inch chest. Only hollow words, false promises,” Gandhi,who is on a two day election campaign tour of Karnataka, told a public rally in Bantwal in Karnataka. The Congress president spoke of how Modi had hosted Xi in his home state Gujarat and the Chinese troops made an incursion into Indian territory.
