Union Minister of State Rajeev Chandrasekhar hit back at Opposition MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday and said the Congress leader lives in his own "la-la" world. Chandrasekhar also said that Gandhi will be “unsuccessful" if he tries to define "our beliefs".

       Chandrasekhar's comments came in response to Gandhi's remark during the Bharat Jodo Yatra that the RSS and the BJP "have made the 22nd January function a completely political Narendra Modi function".

       "...Rahul Gandhi lives in this 'la-la' world, in my opinion...He thinks everything he says is predicated on nobody understanding the truth and he can get away with these atrocious lies...The people of India are wise enough. They understand Rahul Gandhi's politics," said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, who is also a BJP leader.

       In his conversation with news agency ANI, Chandrasekhar hit out at the Congress leader who said recently the aim of its 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' is social justice, economic justice and political justice.

       Reacting to this, Chandrasekhar said, "No matter what he (Rahul Gandhi) says, the whole country knows about the atrocities they (Congress) were doing to the poor for the last 65 years. Twenty-five crore people got to come out of poverty only after PM Modi came to power."
