PM Modi attacks Congress for comparing sliding rupee with his mother’s age.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday hit out at the Congress Saturday, days after its leader Raj Babbar compared the rupee’s slide with the age of his mother, saying those who did not have issues to talk about, resort to abusing someone else’s mother.

Addressing a rally here, Modi, in an apparent dig at UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, said 125 crore people of the country were the “high-command” of his government, which was “not remote-controlled by a madam”.

Hitting out at the Congress on Babbar’s remarks, he said, “When one doesn’t have issues to talk about, he resorts to abusing somebody else’s mother.” The Congress leader had kicked up a row in Indore Thursday when he compared the falling value of rupee against US dollar with the age of the prime minister’s mother.
