Congress leader Rahul Gandhi raised many eyebrows when he made his ‘danda’ remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over rising job crisis.

Soon after BJP hit back at the Gandhi scion. However, PM Modi also reverted Rahul, as he spoke in Parliament today.

PM Modi delivered his response saying he would prepare himself for the “beating” by doing more surya namaskars.

“I heard one leader’s manifesto – he said, we will beat Modi with a stick in six months. I can imagine that it is a difficult prospect (laughter in the house), so it will take six months to prepare. But even I will prepare in these six months and do more surya namaskar so that I am ready…the kind of abuses I have been subjected to in the past 20 years, I will make myself gaali-proof (abuse-proof) and also danda-proof (stick-proof),” the Prime Minister said.

While campaigning for the Delhi election, Rahul Gandhi had said at a public meeting: “You wait and see. Narendra Modi who is giving speeches now, he will not be able to get out of his home in six-seven months. The youth of India will beat him with sticks. They will make him understand that if you don’t give jobs to our youth, India cannot go forward.”

As Modi spoke, Rahul Gandhi rose to interject. Taking another dig, the Prime Minister sneered: “I have been speaking for 30-40 minutes but it took this long for the current to reach. Bahut se tubelight aise hi hotey hai (many tubelights are like this)”. Members of the ruling BJP burst into laughter and thumped their desk in delight.

Later, when media asked Rahul Gandhi to respond to the tubelight jibe, he said: “The biggest problem before the country is unemployment and Modi-ji has nothing to say about that. PM’s style is to distract India.”
