New Delhi, 23/11: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has claimed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi looks like “Saddam Hussein”, the former Iraqi dictator, and it would have been better had he modelled his appearance like Sardar Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru or Mahatma Gandhi. Hitting back, senior Congress leader Manish Tewari said the Assm CM was sounding like a “petty troll”.
Gandhi has been seen sporting a beard during the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra, a mass contact initiative of the Congress.
During a public rally in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, Sarma said, “I just saw that his looks have also changed. I said in a TV interview a few days back that there is nothing wrong with his new look. But if you have to change the looks, at least make it like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or even Jawaharlal Nehru will do. It is better if he looks like Gandhiji. But why is your face turning into Saddam Hussein?” This is because the Congress culture is not closer to Indian people. Their culture is closer to people who have never understood India,” Sarma said.
