Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the “leader of lies” and is trying to gain “public sympathy” on the pretext of being a victim of abusive language, said Congress president Mallikarju­n Kharge on Sunday.

The Congress chief while addressing a rally in Dediapada area of Narmada district in Gujarat said:“the PM says I am poor, but I’m (Kharge) from the poorest of the poor, I come from the untouchabl­es...you (Modi) say I am poor, someone told me bad words, ‘Meri aukat kya hai’... if you are trying to gain people’s sympathy, they are not fools.”

“If you tell people your first lie, they will listen. if you tell them lie second time, they will still listen. But how many times will you lie... He’s the leader of lies and yet he says Congress looted the country.. it is you (Modi) who is looting public...,” he said. Meanwhile, BJP spokespers­on Yamal Vyas said, “Congress has no quality agenda for people of Gujarat. They have been using abusive words against Modi... we don’t need anybody’s sympathy to garner votes. The PM has done a lot of work for Gujarat and India”.
