Try a press meet, it’s fun, Rahul tells Modi

Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi yesterday asked him to hold a press conference.

Gandhi, who campaigned in Telangana for the December 7 Assembly polls, shared pictures of his press conference in Hyderabad on Twitter and said it was fun to have questions thrown at him.

“Dear Mr Modi, now that campaigning is over, hope you can spare some time for your part-time job as PM,” said Gandhi, about Modi who has been going around campaigning for the ongoing Assembly polls in five states.

Gandhi also reminded Modi that it has been “2,654 days since you became PM. Still no press conference”.

“Some pics from our Hyderabad press conference today (Wednesday). Try one some day, it’s fun having questions thrown at you,” added Gandhi.

He also said Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao was showing signs of nervousness and exuded confidence that the Congressled People’s Front will win Friday’s Assembly elections hands down.
