Rahul Gandhi counters Narendra Modi's attack, says actions low, not caste

"Is it a crime to be born in backward caste? Did I insult anyone despite being born in a backward caste? Such a dirty blame has been put on me," Modi had said.

Priyanka had on Monday hit out at Modi, saying he has insulted her "martyred" father Rajiv Gandhi during his speech in Amethi and accused BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate of indulging in "low-level" politics.

Earlier, Rahul reached Fursatganj airstrip and visited polling centres to witness the ongoing poll process.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party's Kumar Vishwas, who is contesting from the seat, said Modi learnt "how to address the public after hearing his speeches" and expressed confidence that the broom will "clear" all the opposition against him in Amethi.

Talking to reporters, BJP candidate Smriti Irani said she was confident of her victory as people of Amethi had "understood that only BJP could ensure development."
