Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack at the Congress in Lok Sabha on Tuesday, July 2, mocking Congress leader and Raebareli MP Rahul Gandhi using Gangs of Wasseypur dialogues, “balak budhi” and “tumse na ho payega.”
In his address to express gratitude to the President, the PM slammed the Congress, saying it had become a “parasite” on its allies and has made “lies” a weapon of its politics. He accused the Leader of Opposition of “linking Hindus with violence.”

A day after Rahul Gandhi charged at PM Modi-led NDA government at the centre with images of deities, the Prime Minister took several jibes at the Congress leader.
Here are top quotes from his speech:
- Referring to the iconic Bollywood movie ‘Sholay’, the Prime Minister took another swipe at Rahul Gandhi, stating that the comments made by Congress leaders have even surpassed that of the film ‘Sholay’. “There was a “mausi” (aunty) in it. They (Congress) have lost for the third time, but Mausi, it is a moral victory. Mausi, we got zero seats in 13 states, but he (Rahul Gandhi) is a hero. The party has been ruined, but the party is still breathing. This new drama has been started to gain sympathy.”
- “Look at ‘balak budhi’. He sought to make fun of armed forces by making toy Rafales, the PM said, hinting that the Congress opposes every reform that strengthens armed forces.
- “He (Rahul Gandhi) had to apologize after making irresponsible statement in the Supreme Court. There is a case against him for insulting a great personality like great freedom fighter Veer Savarkar… Today the country is telling him, tumse na ho payega.”
PM Modi also alleged that the Congress is addicted to lies in the same way an animal gets addicted to human blood.
