Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a veiled dig at former PM Rajiv Gandhi during his address in Lok Sabha, referencing past governance failures. He highlighted corruption scandals and inefficiencies, subtly pointing to the controversial Bofors case. Modi’s remarks were part of his broader attack on the Congress legacy while responding to the motion of thanks on the President’s address.
