Congress chief Rahul Gandhi today hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his "PPP Congress" jibe, likening him to a mobile phone on "speaker and airplane" mode and not the "work" mode. On the 9th leg of his election tour of Karnataka, he accused Narendra Modi of making personal attacks against him as he did not have to speak about on other issues. "There are three modes in a cell phone....the first is the work mode....the other two are speaker mode and airplane mode. Modi only uses speaker and airplane mode and not the work mode," he told reporters in an impromptu interaction. He was responding to a question about Modi's Tuesday remark at an election rally in Gadag where he said the Congress will become "Punjab, Puducherry, Parivar" Congress after its defeat in the Karnataka Assembly polls.
