Prime Minister Narendra Modi today made an outrageous claim. While campaigning in Bagalkot for Karnataka Assembly elections, Modi claimed that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi did not have the courtesy to reach out to President Kovind after he was elected. This, it turns out is a white lie.

This report in The Indian Express clearly mentions that both the Gandhis had wished President Kovind.

Why did Modi say otherwise? Your guess is as good as ours.
