Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused him of indulging in "Khoon ki dalali" with the blood of the Indian soldiers.
Gandhi who returned to the capital after completing his month long Kisan Yatra in poll bound Uttar Pradesh went all guns blazing against the PM.
"You are hiding behind the blood of our soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in Jammu & Kashmir. Our jawans have given blood, they carried out surgical strikes. You are doing 'khoon ki dalali' with the blood of our martyrs. Our Army did what they were supposed to do. Now do your work," Rahul said at a rally in Delhi to wind up his month-long tour of Uttar Pradesh.
