Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a formidable enemy, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said 'we have defeated much bigger enemy than this'.
"We are fighting a formidable enemy that is dominating money in the country and crushing the opponents. But we have done this before. We have defeated a much bigger enemy (British)," he said during an interaction with academicians at the St Xavier College in Tirunelveli.
"Seventy-two years ago, the British were much more powerful than how Narendra Modi will ever be. Who is he when compared to the British empire," he asked.
"People of this country sent the British empire back and in the same way we will send Narendra Modi back to Nagpur," the Congress leader said in an obvious reference to RSS headquarters in Maharashtra.
