On Rahul Gandhi’s 15-Minute Parliament Face-Off Dare, PM Modi’s Comeback

Chamarajanagar (Karnataka) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi, launching a whirlwind campaign today for the election in Congress-ruled Karnataka, chose a public rally to respond to a challenge that Rahul Gandhi had thrown days ago.

"I challenge you to speak for 15 minutes on the achievements of your government in Karnataka without reading from any piece of paper. You can speak in Hindi, English or your mata ki matra-bhasha (mother’s mother tongue)," PM Modi tossed at the 47-year-old Congress chief, without naming Rahul Gandhi’s Italy-born mother Sonia Gandhi.
