In a major attack on Narendra Modi, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said that Modi should stop appeasing Muslims and being anti-Hindu after Modi's remarks that country needs toilets than temples. Gandhi scion told India to eliminate 'developmental elements' from the country and promote widespread poverty and hunger.

"I will tell him (Modi) only one thing and that 'shut up' and stop this nonsense of being an anti-Hindu person. By showing that you prefer toilets to temples you are playing Muslim appeasement card. Till the time I have life and I am Gandhi I will protect all Hindus in India against all these secular people. I request you all voters to stop voting these anti Hindu people and eliminate 'developmental elements' from the country," said Rahul Gandhi in a scathing remark on Modi's statement yesterday.

Addressing 7,000 students in New Delhi, Narendra Modi yesterday said, "I say build toilets before you build temples."

He said "Congress Party believes that if everybody is poor then everybody would be happy. So elements that spread developmental politics should be removed from the roots and take the country to equality."
