‘This is 2019 Election’: Cong Reminds PM After Rajiv Gandhi Barbs

“It’s almost as if he’s fighting the 1989 election & Rajiv Gandhi is his principal rival!” Omar Abdullah tweeted.

Social media was abuzz after Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again attacked Rajiv Gandhi on Wednesday, 8 May, as he accused the Gandhi family of using warship INS Viraat as its "personal taxi" when the latter was the prime minister.

At a rally in Delhi, Modi alleged that the Congress insulted the warship by using it for vacations of Gandhi family. Attaching an India Today article from 1988, Modi also took to Twitter to slam the Gandhis, saying, "Ever imagined that a premier warship of the Indian armed forces could be used as a taxi for a personal holiday? One Dynasty did it and that too with great swag."
