Addressing the students at Benares Hindu University, Prime Minister Narendra Modi subtly alluded to demonetisation and the recent mudslinging by the Opposition.

He mimicked Rahul Gandhi and said:

The youth leader is learning how to make speeches. Since he started speaking, I am happy. Now, we have seen what that ‘earthquake’ was about.
Narendra Modi on Rahul Gandhi

These remarks by the Prime Minister follow Rahul Gandhi’s allegations during his rally in Gujarat on Wednesday.

Congress Vice President in Mehsana, Gujarat, claimed that the Income Tax department has access to Sahara Group’s ‘diary’, which contains records of nine payments made by the group to Narendra Modi over six months during his tenure as chief minister of Gujarat.

He also claimed that the Birla Group has a similar record of money being paid to Modi while he was Gujarat’s chief minister.
