New Delhi. Referring to the potatoes of Banaskantha in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a dig at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi without taking his name. Modi said that the potato of Banaskantha is world famous today and no one will come to the Banaskantha seller and say that he will turn the potato into gold. The Banaskantha seller will say that I am already making it. At the same time, BJP opposition leader has also taken a dig at this statement of Modi. While posting Modi's video on Twitter, BJP wrote, “The people of ballot paper had not yet recovered from the shock that PM Modi again reopened the old wounds of gold with potatoes in Banaskantha.” This is called straight 'roast' without chilli and spices.
The people of the ballot paper had not yet recovered from the shock that PM Modi once again reopened the old wounds of potato gold in Banaskantha! This is called straight roast without chilli and spices! ???

In fact, Rahul Gandhi had given a statement regarding potatoes during a rally in Patan, Gujarat in November 2017. In his clip which went viral on social media, he was saying that he will install such a machine, potatoes will enter from this side and gold will come out from that side. This clip of Rahul Gandhi went quite viral. Along with this, BJP has taken a dig at the Congress MP by sharing another video of Banaskantha rally and an old video of Rahul Gandhi on X.
See the difference between respect and manners! Taking off the jacket and lovingly wearing the jacket given by the farmer, this affinity of Prime Minister Modi towards his countrymen connects him with the people. Congressmen, move ahead from the politics of protest and learn this culture of public service and respect!

It can be seen in this video that when the people of Banaskantha presented a coat to Modi as a mark of respect, the Prime Minister took off his sadri and wore that coat. Whereas in the second video, Congress workers want to make Rahul Gandhi wear a gamchha but the Congress MP refuses. BJP took a dig at this, see the difference between respect and values. Taking off the jacket and lovingly wearing the jacket given by the farmer, this affinity of Prime Minister Modi towards the countrymen connects him with the people. Congressmen, move beyond the politics of protest and learn this culture of public service and respect.
