During his address, Gandhi said after he made comment attributed to SC, he apologised to the top Court but not to BJP or PM Modi.

Gandhi's remarks comes a day after PM Modi, while addressing a public meeting said that the party that questioned the surgical strikes is now saying "me too, me too". Modi also said bitingly that "it is no video game".
Taking a jibe at the Prime Minister, Gandhi said, "These surgical strikes were not carried out by Modiji, it was carried out by our forces. And if Modiji says that the earlier surgical strikes were not real surgical strikes and a video game, then he is not demeaning the Congress but he is disrespecting the armed forces." "Five years ago, it was said that Modi ji will rule for 10-15 years, that he is invincible. Congress party has demolished Narendra Modi ji, it is a hollow structure and in 10- 20 days, it will come crumbling down", Gandhi added.

Talking about the major issues, Gandhi said, the biggest issue in front of the people of India today is unemployment and the economy ruined by Modi government is the biggest issue and the country. "Rahul Gandhi wants to understand it. Rahul Gandhi is nothing. Country is the biggest thing", he added.
