Congress President Rahul Gandhi stepped up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS today during an interaction with a group of intellectuals at the Odisha Dialogue in Bhubaneswar. He said that “abuses” were “the best gift” given to him by his political opponents. “I look at Mr. Modi and when he abuses me, I feel like giving him a hug,” Rahul Gandhi said. Assembly election would be held along with Lok Sabha polls in Odisha soon.
