Modi hits back at Rahul for 'toffee' jibe

Modi hits back at Rahul for 'toffee' jibe

 Taunting Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi today compared him with a child,
saying 'toffee' has caught the Congress vice president's fancy
after he repeatedly spoke about 'balloon'.
"Such an important election about the country's future,
but for ten days, a word that gripped him (Rahul) was
'balloon'. For ten days he kept repeating it. However,
children don't stick to a toy for too long and now he has
caught the word 'toffee'," Modi said campaigning in Jharkhand
in a clear dig at Rahul who yesterday dubbed the Gujarat model
of development as a "toffee model".
"His childishness has not yet gone. First he used to
talk about balloons and now he is talking about toffees�
Gujarat has got 300 trophies and not toffees.
  "Now you tell me what to do. I am not of an age where
I can play with balloons," Modi said.
Modi's jibe came a day after Rahul dubbed the BJP Prime
Ministerial candidate's repeated reference to the Gujarat
model of development as a "toffee model", alleging that land
was given to few industrialists at throwaway prices.
Rahul had earlier come under Modi's firing line for
stating the BJP's balloon will burst with the Lok Sabha
results going against it.
Targeting Sonia Gandhi, Modi said, "Mother and son
(Rahul) have ruined the country and the Prime Minister has to
bear the brunt".
Modi said he considered serious issues would be
discussed in the election which BJP leaders including L K
Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Yashwant Sinha, Arun Jaitley and Murli
Manohar Joshi were doing. "But on the other side, there is a
player whose mind doesn't move away from childishness.
He said it was for the people to decide whether or not
they wanted those who played with balloons and craved toffees.
