Amid the row over his remarks, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday reiterated his allegation against Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the latter “surrendered” after a call from US President Donald Trump during the recent India-Pakistan military conflict.
While addressing an event in Bihar’s Rajigir, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition said that the Prime Minister has a habit of surrendering, days later he had accused PM Modi of capitulation before Trump.
Gandhi further alleged that the central government would not conduct the recently announced caste census accurately because the day it happened, their (BJP) politics would end.
“…My aim is caste census. In Lok Sabha, in front of Modi ji, I told him that caste census would be conducted. And you know he has a habit of surrendering. Trump has said 11 times in public that he made Narendra Modi surrender. But Narendra Modi ji cannot utter a word because it is the truth…They will never get a genuine caste census done because the day they get it done, their politics will end…” he said as quoted by news agency ANI.

The Congress leader earlier stirred the controversy on Tuesday after he alleged that PM Modi surrendered after a call from Trump during the India-Pakistan conflict.
Addressing a party convention in Bhopal, he had said the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, didn’t budge in the 1971 war despite the US sending its Seventh Fleet.
“A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered – history is a witness, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always bow down,” Rahul had stated after launching the Congress’s ‘Sangthan Srijan Abhiyan’ in Bhopal.
Rahul had said that India split Pakistan in 1971 despite America’s threat.
The BJP ripped into the grand-old party leader saying that he lacks the seriousness and maturity that the post requires.
Earlier today, Union Minister Giriraj Singh dubbed Gandhi as “useless” and accused him of insulting the army.
While speaking to reporters, Giriraj Singh said, “Rahul Gandhi opposed India’s valour, questioned its Army’s bravery, and tarnished the army’s reputation worldwide. The Bihar public will oppose him, why would they vote for someone who doesn’t respect the army or the nation? Rahul Gandhi’s tongue is like Pakistan, and he does not respect the nation.”
