NEW DELHI: In a sensational charge, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the Gandhi family of using warship INS Viraat as its "personal taxi" when Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister.Addressing his first poll rally in Delhi ahead of the May 12 elections for seven seats, Modi alleged that the Congress insulted the warship by using it for vacations of Gandhi family.Modi's attack on the late prime minister comes close on the heels of his allegation that Gandhi died as a "brashtachari no 1"."INS Viraat was insulted by using it as a personal taxi. This happened when Rajiv Gandhi and his family was out for a 10-day vacation. INS Viraat was deployed for securing our maritime boundary. But it was diverted to take the Gandhi family which was out for a vacation," Modi said.He also claimed that after picking up the Gandhi family, INS Viraat halted at an island for 10 days."Rajiv Gandhi was accompanied by his in-laws who had come from Italy. Question is whether the security of the country was not compromised by taking foreigners onboard a warship," he asked.In an apparent attack on the AAP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said they supported the 'tukde-tukde' gang and brought the "nakampanthi" model of governance to the national capital."Delhi has seen 'nakampanthi' model of governance. People had come to change the country, but they themselves. They supported 'tukde tukde' gang and strengthened India's enemies," he said, without naming the AAP.Explaining the term 'Nakampanthi', which he used in reference to the AAP government, Modi said it means "not allowing Centre's Ayushmaan Bharat in Delhi hospitals".He said the BJP has reduced pollution and traffic jam in Delhi by building eastern and western peripherals."Inflation was always an important poll issue, but now opposition is not able to corner government on this," he added.
