San Francisco: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he can even tell God how a brand works. I think if you make Modi ji sit with God, he will start explaining to God how the brand works, Rahul Gandhi, who is on a six-day visit to the US, said while interacting with the Indian diaspora on Tuesday. Is. And God will be confused as to what I have created.
The former Wayanad Lok Sabha MP further said that India is being run by a group of people who are overconfident and have the disease of being a know-it-all. Taking a jibe at PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi said that some groups in India have the illusion that they know everything. In India, we grew up with people of different languages, different religions, he said. And this is what is being attacked. People like (Mahatma) Gandhi ji and Guru Nanak ji have had a tradition in India that you should not be under the illusion that we know everything. It is a disease – some groups in India think they know everything.
The Congress leader said this group of people believe that they can explain science to scientists, history to historians and strategy to the army. He said that at the root of this is ignorance and that this group of people really does not understand anything. He also talked about his 4,000-km Bharat Jodo Yatra, which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7 last year and ended in Srinagar on January 30, where he unfurled the national flag.
In his address, Rahul Gandhi said, Bharat Jodo Yatra carried forward the spirit of affection, respect and humility. If one studies the history, it can be seen that all spiritual leaders including Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Basavanna Ji, Narayan Guru Ji united the country in this way. The former Congress chief is visiting the US on an ordinary passport. He surrendered his diplomatic passport following his disqualification as an MP. He was received at the airport by Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda and other IOC members. Party sources said Rahul Gandhi had to wait for two hours at the airport for immigration clearance.
While he was waiting in the queue, several people traveling with him in the same flight clicked selfies with him at the airport. Party sources said when people asked him why he was standing in the queue, the Congress leader replied, “I am a common man”. I like this. I am no longer an MP. A Congress source said that the senior leader would attend several programs during his six-day visit.
In San Francisco, the Congress leader interacted with NRIs, venture capitalists, tech executives and students in Silicon Valley, the source said. He will also interact with senior technology executives from Silicon Valley on artificial intelligence on Wednesday, the source said. The source said Rahul is also scheduled to deliver a lecture at Stanford University and will meet the Indian diaspora the same evening. The source said the former Wayanad Lok Sabha MP will attend several events in Washington DC, including his speech at the National Press Club on the future of Indian democracy, freedom of speech and sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
In Washington DC, Rahul will also meet lawmakers and think tanks and attend a dinner hosted by Indian-American entrepreneur Frank Islam and top business leaders, senators and congressmen. He will then head to New York, where he will meet thinkers at the Harvard Club of Harvard University. He will also attend a luncheon event and meet a group of successful Indian-Americans in the creative industry. On June 4, Rahul Gandhi will address a public meeting organized by the IOC (Indian Overseas Congress) at the Javits Center in New York. Indian Overseas Congress Secretary Virendra Vashisht told IANS over phone, Rahul Gandhi has been raising the issue of India in America. The Prime Minister has done 101 episodes of his Mann Ki Baat, while Rahul Gandhi has been talking of the people. He listens to him in India, listens to him in America, and talks to them about India wherever he goes.
