'Knickerwallahs from Nagpur': Rahul Gandhi mocks RSS in Tamil Nadu

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi targeted Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruppur.

Gandhi is leading the Congress party’s campaign ahead of state elections.

Gandhi called RSS 'knickerwallahs', a reference to their old uniform.

Congress is invoking 'Tamil pride' to defeat AIADMK-BJP combine.

Congress will contest elections in alliance with DMK.

“We will not allow Narendra Modi to destroy the foundation of India...He doesn't understand that only Tamil people can decide the future of Tamil Nadu.

'Knickerwallahs' from Nagpur can never ever decide the future of the state,” said Gandhi.
