"The PM is devoted towards his mother. He touched her feet after the election victory. This is quite in contrast to the Congress, where a mother has ruined the party and is trying to ruin the country by her utter devotion to a completely inept son," Akbar said

"Instead of hiding underground, somewhere in the United States, he is posting highly nebulous pictures of some conference. It might have been a better idea if Rahul Gandhi would have come out and say what he is doing, unless of course he is enjoying an undeserved holiday," Akbar said in a press conference.
