The war of words between Gandhi and Modi came a day before voting for fifth phase of polls takes place on Monday, with Gandhi’s own constituency, Amethi, going to polls as well.

“The reply will be given by the people of Amethi for whom Rajiv Gandhi gave his life. Yes Modi ji, this nation never forgives treachery,” Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra called PM Modi’s comments as “gutter politics” and said that it demanded condemnation.

The party’s core committee member and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram also hit back at the PM in a series of messages on Twitter.
“Mr. Modi has crossed all limits of propriety and decency by defaming a man (Rajiv Gandhi) who died in 1991,” Mr. Chidambaram wrote. He added that the charges against Rajiv Gandhi were dropped by the Delhi High Court.
Chidambaram wrote: “Does Mr Modi read anything at all? Does he know that the charge against Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was thrown out by the High Court, Delhi as ‘completely baseless?’”
He also pointed out that it was a BJP government that decided not to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the said HC judgment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
