Taking a swipe at Congress President Rahul Gandhi for accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of authorising 'buying off' of MLAs and disrespecting institutions, Union minister Prakash Javadekar today said it was like "Satan reading the Bible."
"Modiji, who rose from poverty to become Prime Minister, this, they (Congress leaders,including Gandhi) are not able to digest and hence should the Congress level such baseless allegations? It is like Satan reading the Bible."
Javadekar also said Congress was reduced to 78 seats from 122 in the previous election and hence "it is a defeat of the grand old party."
"Kumaraswamy had said he would imprison Congress leaders for corruption during campaigning.Now I give an open challenge to JD(S) whether it will jail Congress leaders."
