BJP leader Narendra Modi today said he will stop calling Rahul Gandhi as 'Shehzade' (prince) if the Congress, whose leaders are "uncomfortable" with this, decides to discontinue its "dynastic rule".

"Congress ke mitra bahut pareshan hai ki Modi shehzade kyon keh rahe hain... Unhe nind nahin aati hai (Congress leaders are troubled with Rahul being referred to as shehzade. They are unable to sleep well)," Modi said at a poll rally here.

"Lekin main phuchhta hun ki shehzade kehne ki naubat kyun aai (I want to know why I was compelled to refer him as shehzade?)" he said at BJP's election rally in Gandhi Maidan, his first public meeting in Bihar in over three years.
 

Modi, the BJP's PM candidate, said people dislike dynastic rule as much as the Congress is feeling offended over this.

"I will stop calling shehzade if the Congress promises to do way with dynastic politics," Modi said.
