Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Rakesh Sinha on Thursday alleged that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has the lowest intellectual level in the Nehru-Gandhi family and said that the latter has to learn politics from the scratch to understand the ideology of the right-wing organisation.
Sinha said the country's first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and even his daughter Indira Gandhi never used these kinds of language for the RSS.
"To understand RSS ideology, Rahul Gandhi has to learn politics from the scratch. Rahul Gandhi's is not mentally stable. Rahul Gandhi has the lowest intellectual level in Nehru clan dynastic politics," Sinha told ANI.
The Congress vice-president yesterday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS have destroyed the core spirit of India.
"These people (BJP and RSS) think that they can rule by spreading hatred and fear among the people. The Congress Party will defeat and remove them from power. We do not hate them (BJP and RSS) but we will defeat their ideology," Gandhi said.
He said Congress party has always stood for dispelling the fear and asserted that India is strong and the country and its people do not to fear anything in this world.

Rahul, who yesterday led the Congress Working Committee's meeting at New Delhi's Talkatora Stadium in the absence of party president Sonia Gandhi, alleged that the Prime Minister has in the last two years destroyed institutions that were built over many years.
