New Delhi : Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday mentioned US President Barack Obama’s praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi in latest issue of Time magazine and called it a “first time”.
The Congress vice president, speaking as soon as the zero hour started in the lower house, said: “I was at the Congress president’s (Sonia Gandhi) house and I saw Time magazine… Obama ji has written a long article praising Modi,” said the Gandhi scion.
“It is perhaps first time in 60 years the US president has praised someone like this,” he said.
