Raj Babbar launches personal attack at PM Modi over falling rupee

Congress leader Raj Babbar on Thursday launched a personal attack at Prime Minister Narendra Modi by comparing the falling rupee against dollar with his mother Heeraben Modi’s age. He also reportedly called PM Modi ‘manhoos’ over the rising fuel prices.

In a rally at Madhya Pradesh’s Indore, Raj Babbar said, “He used to say that the Indian rupee has fallen so much against the dollar that it was nearing the age of the then prime minister. Today, the rupee’s valuation has dropped so much that it is inching closer to your beloved mother’s age.”

“BJP has never had any great passion for Lord Ram. Whenever there is election, the BJP starts seeking votes in Ram’s name,” Babbar said. “People have begun to realise that BJP is deceiving voters on the issue of Ram temple. It promises to build the temple but will not tell the date,” he added.

However, Raj Babbar’s comment on the falling rupee targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi has led to a controversy.

Reacting to this, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said that the Congress is stooping low and making nasty comments. He said comparing the rupee vs dollar to the age of Modiji’s mother showed Babbar’s mentality and he should immediately apologise.
