In a scathing address during a rally in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (May 3) ridiculed Congress leader Rahul Gandhis decision to contest from Uttar Pradeshs Raebareli Lok Sabha constituency. PM Modi attributed Gandhis move to fear of defeat in Keralas Wayanad and challenged him to confront the BJP in Amethi without "running or being scared". Referring to the Congress leaders candidacy in Wayanad, PM Modi accused him of seeking a safe seat for himself. Addressing a rally, PM Modi said, "I had already said that the Shehzada was going to lose in Wayanad. I had said that as soon as the polling was completed in Wayanad, he would start looking for another seat. He is so scared of Amethi that he is running towards Raebareli," PM Modi remarked.

"They ask everyone Daro Mat. Today, I also ask them, Daro Mat, Bhago Mat… (dont be scared, dont run)," PM Modi said. Additionally, PM Modi slammed Sonia Gandhi for giving up the Raebareli seat and securing a safe position in the Rajya Sabha. "I had already said in the Parliament that their (Congress) biggest leader will not dare to fight elections and she will run away. She ran away to Rajasthan and came to the Rajya Sabha," PM Modi quipped.
