Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday dubbed the Congress party a “disciple” of Pakistan, and said the neighbouring country was eager to make the ‘shehzada’ of the grand old party the next prime minister of India.

Addressing a poll rally in Anand town of central Gujarat in support of BJP candidates for Anand and Kheda Lok Sabha seats, PM Modi also took a dig at Congress over opposition leader Salman Khurshid’s niece Maria Alam’s call for ‘vote jihad’.
