Modi defends caste interpretation of Priyanka's jibe at him

Can you deny that fact? Is it wrong to give factual information to the people of this country?" Modi said.

Modi said if he had said anything bad about Rajiv Gandhi, then, as his daughter, Priyanka Gandhi had the right to get even more angry.

"I raise no objections to that. But when you don't even discuss that, and use it to attack me, it is not right," Modi said.

"You have the right to emotionally blackmail me, don't I have the right to at least state the truth? Is it because I come from a humble background, from a humble family? Has this country become like that? Has my democracy submitted itself to one family? And when a poor man says something, there is uproar," he said.
