Modi attacks Priyanka Gandhi remarks

Narendra Modi, the leader of India's main opposition BJP, has criticised Priyanka Gandhi, the sister of Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi, for saying that the BJP was "indulging in low level politics". "I belong to a lower caste of society that's why they think my politics is low-level politics," Mr Modi tweeted. Mr Modi, the son of a tea seller, is from a disadvantaged caste. On Monday, Mr Modi spoke at a rare rally in Amethi, Mr Gandhi's seat. He attacked their record in the area as well as what he said was their condescension to the BJP candidate. Mr Modi told the meeting in Amethi that the late former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi - Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi's father - had once "abused and humiliated" a former chief minister of a southern state at an airport, according to BBC.
