Modi fled the country like liquor baron Vijay Mallya. Gandhi took the swipe at the Prime Minister for his refrain during poll rallies that he would act as a watchman for the country, and cited his “na khaoonga, na khaane doonga” (will neither do nor allow anyone to do corruption) statement.
Taking to Twitter, the Congress chief said the entire country was keen to know the “secret behind his silence” and alleged that it screams out loudly where his loyalties were.
“First Lalit (Modi) and then (Vijay) Mallya, now Nirav (Modi) also eloped. Where is the country’s watchman who claimed ‘Na khaoonga, na khaane doonga’ (Will neither do nor allow anyone to do corruption)? “The public is longing to know the reason of ‘Saheb’s’ silence.
His silence screams out loud who is he loyal to?” he asked in a tweet in Hindi. Gandhi also used the hashtag “ModiRobsIndia” along with his tweet, to target the prime minister.
