Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday suggested that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should have joined Bollywood as acting was in the latter's "nature".
"Jumlebaazi" (rhetoric), "dramabaazi" (theatrics) and acting are in Modi's nature and he should have gone to join Bollywood and he should have been an actor, Gehlot said at a rally in Bundi district.
Like acting has no truth, Gehlot said in the same way Modi had "no truth" but was only acting on a bunch of lies.
Her said acting cannot do any good to the country, no development and acting does not satisfy one's hunger.
The chief minister was addressing the rally prior to Congress president Rahul Gandhi's speech.
"The democracy is in danger, the Constitution is in danger and the country is in danger today. And if they (BJP) are not countered with full strength and capacity... they would destroy the country," Gehlot added.
