After 'Chowkidar Chor Hai' jibe, Rahul Gandhi now says "I love Modi"

Congress president Rahul Gandhi today said he has no hatred for anybody including the Prime Minister Narendra Modi but bemoaned that the latter has only anger towards him.

"I have no anger or hatred towards Narendra Modi. He has anger towards me," Rahul Gandhi said while interacting with students in Pune, when some students started raising 'Modi, Modi' slogan during his speech.

"I love Mr. Narendra Modi," he said. As slogan kept continuing, Rahul said: "It's fine, no problem. I don't have any problem with him. But he (Modi) doesn't feels the same way."



This is not the first time Gandhi spoke of having 'affection' for Modi. In March, he recalled the day he had hugged Modi and said he could not hate him since love "is in the country's grain, every religion, and the Tamil people".

During an interaction with college students in Chennai, when a student asked him why he chose to hug the prime minister, Gandhi had said he had watched a 'very angry' Modi in Parliament running down his party, his late father Rajiv Gandhi and mother Sonia.

After a fiery speech in Parliament in October last year, Gandhi had walked up to Modi and hugged him, leaving the PM bewildered for a moment.
