Bengaluru, May 10: Why does Prime Minister Narendra Modi often resorts to personal attack against Congress supremo Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi?

When media persons in Bengaluru posed this question to Rahul Gandhi, he gave a simple and straight forward answer: “Modi has anger inside him and he personally attacks me and my mother, because he sees a threat from me."

On the last day of Karnataka election campaign, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference before he leaves for Hubballi for concluding his campaigns in the state. The press conference was attended by chief minister Siddaramaiah, KPCC President G Parameshwara, Mallikarjun Kharge, K C Venugopal, D K Shivakumar and Randeep Surjewala.

"Mr Modi has got anger inside of him. He is angry with everybody, not only me. I am a lightning rod for anger, I attract anger. But that is his problem. It is not my problem," Rahul told the reporters.

"My mother has Italian origin and has lived larger part of her life in India. She is more Indian than many Indian people I have met. My mother sacrificed for this country. If PM Modi likes to abuse her, he may do so if it pleases him," said Rahul when asked about PM Modi’s penchant for mocking Sonia.

For the question about the Modi's statement on Congress' rigging the polls, Rahul said: "the man talks what he thinks in his mind."

"Since 15 years, I've been visiting temples, mosques, gurudwaras, every religious institution I come across. BJP doesn't like this. I don't think they understand the meaning of the term Hindu. It's a perspective. It's something which lives with you throughout," Rahul responded to a question on his recent visits to religious places for years.

Rahul also said the party manifesto is people's voice and added he is confident of winning the election.

"I have been travelling around Karnataka for a few months now, we all stood together and fought the campaign on fundamental issues. We've prepared manifesto which is truly the voice of the people. The opposition has restricted itself to making personal remarks. I am confident of winning the elections," Rahul said.

Modi, Arnab Cowswami are similar in their speech or way of presentation. Both are attacking mode and  meaningless shoutings
