Read MorePM Modi Opens Up On Narmada Protest, Takes A Jibe At Rahul Gandhi & Activist Medha Patkar
Recently PM Modi took a jab at Rahul Gandhi for participating in a march with activist Medha Patkar during 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.' Modi's main concern was their campaign that was held against the Narmada dam project, which he stated had been Gujarat's lifeline.

Read MoreCongress Party Needs To Rethink Why Its Telangana Plan Hasn’t Worked
The Congress party's low performance in the Munugode bypoll was expected. A sitting seat was lost in a byelection and the Congress candidate couldn't preserve the security deposit while Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra was in the state. In August, former Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy prompted another byelection. The BJP intends to show that BRS vs. Congress is giving way to BRS vs. BJP in Telangana by using byelections. The state's ruling party, Telangana Rashtra Samiti, has changed its name to Bhartiya Rashtra Samiti. This clever tactic recalls how the BJP used Congress leaders and cadre to oust the CPM in Tripura. The Congress is tumbling like a house of cards in Telangana as the BJP uses a systematic plan to destroy it. BRS, BJP have more resources and fighte...
