AMRITSAR, NOV 18, PRABHJOT GILL : Rahul Gandhi today used sarcasam to hit back at BJP president Rajnath Singh for calling him a ‘bachcha’ (child) in politics saying he indeed was a ‘bachcha’.
" Compared to the likes of Rajnath Singh and other senior leaders, I am a ‘bachcha’. It is a fact. I am a much younger person," the 38-year-old scion of the Nehru-Gandhi family said nodding his head in a sarcastic reply to a question on the BJP chief calling him a ‘bachcha’ in politics.
Anwsering a question on Rahul, Rajnath yesterday said he is "still a bachcha in politics."
The MP from Amethi said ‘bachcha’ could be defined by the way one looks at things.
"I think in a completely different way. They think in a sort of political way. And he is right, I am a complete ‘bachcha’ compared to him."
"He (Rajnath) would not have the desired impact as the country looks at things in a different manner. It is the way of looking things differently," Rahul said.
The AICC general secretary also sought to pin the BJP leader down for raising the bogey of experience saying, "fortunately or unfortunately, 70 percent of this country is ‘bachcha’.
"So, maybe we need to be thinking what youngsters of this country think about and believe in. But, yes compared to Rajnath Singh, I do not have half the experience he has."
Rahul went further and gave a piece of advice to Rajnath saying "He should perhaps look at this bachcha part of India".
