Modi remains silent on Trump ceasefire claim: Rahul Gandhi in Bihar

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi Friday while targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that US President Donald Trump has repeated “11 times that he compelled him (the PM) to surrender”, referring to a ceasefire understanding with Pakistan after four days of hostilities.

Addressing a Constitution-themed meeting in Rajgir, Nalanda, Gandhi said, “Whenever we use little pressure on PM Modi, he caves in easily. You know he has the habit of surrendering. Trump has said at least 11 times that he compelled Narendra Modi to surrender. Narendra Modi did not say that Trump is not speaking the truth.”

This was Gandhi’s fifth visit to Bihar in the last five months. Regarding the caste census, Gandhi again batted for the Telangana model and vowed that the 50% quota cap “barrier will be broken” in whichever part of the country his party came to power, and cited examples of Telangana and Karnataka, where his party is in power.
