Rahul said Dalits and minorities were facing attack and Modi “does not speak a word”.

Citing Modi’s visit to China for an informal summit, he said: “China’s army is entrenched in Doka La, they are making helipads, extending airways and India’s prime minister held discussions without an agenda. What does this mean?” None of the prime ministers had done such a thing but “Narendra Modi can do this”, he added. PTI

Referring to the Congress’ spirited performance in Gujarat, Rahul said “you see what will happen in Karnataka” and also that the party will win this year’s Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh and then the Lok Sabha polls in 2019. Twitter@INCHimachal
