Just a week before, Telangana Congress leader Vijaya Shanti made controversial comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, comparing him to a "terrorist".

Vijaya Shanti was addressing a rally in Telangana's Shamshabad which was also addressed by Rahul Gandhi.

"People are scared as they don't know which kind of bomb Modi will throw when. Modi looks like a terrorist," she alleged while speaking in Telugu. "The public should be loved but Modi scares them. A prime minister should not do such a thing," she added.

At the same rally, Rahul alleged that Modi was making "two Indias" - one for the poor and the other for wealthy and rich people.
