There is a young political leader. He's learning how to speak and since he learned to speak my joy has no bounds. They are learning how to give speeches. I'm glad that they have has started speaking, (but) I'm happy that we did not have an 'earthquake' ," PM Modi said, referring to the Congress vice president, who yesterday said the PM received kickbacks as chief minister of Gujarat from a corporate house.Gandhi was referring to documents recovered by the I-T department during raids on the Sahara Group and the Aditya Birla Group, which allegedly list huge payoffs to several high profile politicians."The I-T Department raided Sahara on Nov 22, 2014. They've had the records with them for the last two-and-a-half years, yet no action has been taken so far," Gandhi said at the rally.The Congress leader last week promised to come out with revelations "about the personal corruption " of the PM, revelations that he said will create "a political earthquake."
