Mumbai, Nov 13 Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the latter’s allegations of phone tapping against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying “empty vessels make the most noise”.
Shinde, the chief of the ruling Shiv Sena, said Gandhi is so obsessed with what can only be described as ‘Modi-phobia’ that the Prime Minister seems to occupy the Congress leader’s thoughts day and night.
In an attempt to save his sinking political ship and remain in the limelight, Gandhi has resorted to making baseless, imaginary and childish accusations, Shinde added.
He said Gandhi has no concrete issues, no vision for development, and not a shred of evidence to substantiate his claims.
The proverb ’empty vessels make the most noise’ aptly sums up his conduct, Shinde said.
Gandhi’s full-time occupation has become making hollow assertions about possessing evidence, shooting arrows in the dark, and manufacturing a new ‘fake narrative’ every day, the Deputy CM added.
Replying to a query during an ‘Ask Me’ session on Instagram, Gandhi claimed his phone is “tapped by the prime minister”.
