A day after former Manmohan Singh mocked and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was turn of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday who launched a blistering attack.

Addressing a convention of students wing of his party, Rahul even drew parallels between the RSS and the German forces under dictator Hitler. He said the RSS cadres use the 'German salute' of Hitler and asserted that Modi and RSS were his followers, out to destroy India's diversity and plurality so that he becomes the only voice to be heard as if he alone knows everything.

Further attacking PM's Make in India programme, Rahul said nothing will come out of it, as it needs the common man's power and the trust of the poor and not help to two, three industrialists.
