Why does your blood boil only in front of cameras? Rahul Gandhi's swipe at PM Modi post Bikaner address

Rahul Gandhi

Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a public speech in Rajasthan’s Bikaner said that his mind is cool, but hot ‘sindoor (vermilion)’ is flowing through his veins, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi sought answers from the PM, saying, "Why does your blood boil only in front of cameras?."

In a tweet, the former Congress President slammed PM's speech by saying ,"Modi ji stop giving hollow speeches." Gandhi also posed three questions for the PM. "Modiji, stop giving hollow speeches. Just tell me: 1. Why did you believe Pakistan's statement on terrorism? 2. Why did you sacrifice India's interests by bowing to Trump? 3. Why does your blood boil only in front of cameras? You have compromised the honour of India," read Rahul Gandhi's tweet.

Addressing the public in Baikaner-- district sharing its border with Pakistan, the Prime Minister delivered a message of strength for citizens while sounding the alarm for Pakistan.

“India will no longer tolerate nuclear blackmail… India will strike, at its terms, if Pakistan again uses terrorist acts against us,” PM Modi said, hailing the success of the 7 May Operation Sindoor—India’s retaliatory military action against Pakistan after the 22 April Pahalgam terrorist attack left 26 men dead.

Reminding the crowd that he visited Rajasthan’s Churu after the 2019 Balakot airstrike that targeted a Jaish-e-Mohammed camp, Modi said he had then sworn he would not let India bow down or get destroyed and indicated he has lived up to that by avenging 22 April.

“Today, I landed at Bikaner’s Nal air base. Pakistan tried to target it this time but could not do any damage… It is only a short distance from Pakistan’s Rahim Yar Khan airbase, which, on the other hand, will not open any time soon,” Modi said, mocking the Pakistani forces. “Our armed forces have sent Pakistan’s airfield into the ICU,” the PM added.
