Rahul_GandhiNew Delhi: The Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that Prime Minister should not make excuses and start running the country.

“Job of the Prime Minister is not to make excuses. and he should start running the country” said Rahul Gandhi hitting back at Narendra Modi for targeting the Gandhi family.

The Congress Vice President’s remarks came ahead of the budget session of Parliament beginning Feb 23, signalling that that the main opposition will confront the NDA dispensation on several issues.

Taking a swipe at Modi, Gandhi remarked, “All the Prime Minister has been doing for the last 18 months is to make excuses as to why the economy is not running, why the farmers are not getting their due, why the labourers are not getting what they should get”.

The Congress vice president’s remarks came when his reaction was sought over Modi pinning the blame on the Gandhi family for Parliament not functioning and the charge that they are taking revenge for defeat in LS polls.

“India did not choose Narendra Modi to make excuses. India chose a Leader and the Leader should not make excuses, the Leader should do the job that he has been elected to do,” he said.
