HIGHLIGHTS

- Gandhi's comment comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Kerala is as dear to his as Varanasi.
ongress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again on the final day of his three-day tour in Kerala.
Gandhi, who is in the southern state as part of his thanksgiving tour, attacked PM Modi in Kozhikode after his roadshow and added that the BJP is blinded by hatred.
Rahul went on to say that PM Modi does not treat Congress-ruled states in a proper manner, indicating that he will not treat Kerala in the same manner as Uttar Pradesh.
"I know from experience that the prime minister (Narendra Modi) views BJP-ruled states as different than Congress-ruled states or state ruled by other parties," Gandhi said.
Rahul Gandhi also slammed Modi's comment where he mentioned that Kerala is as dear to him as Varanasi.
"I know that the prime minister will not treat Kerala the same way he treats Uttar Pradesh. He can come here and say whatever he wants-that Kerala is Varanasi. But I know because the CPI(M) is ruling or wherever the Congress is ruling, the prime minister will not treat this as a normal state of the country," he said.
"The sad part is that I expect no such cooperation from the prime minister because the BJP is blinded by hatred," Gandhi added.
Gandhi ended his address by saying that he would try his best to raise key issues in the parliament and stand up for the people of the country.
On the second day of his three-day tour in Kerala's Wayanad, Gandhi not only thanked people but also attacked PM Modi.
He said, "Modi represents the worst sentiment of the country, anger lies, and intolerance. At the national level, we're fighting poison. Mr Narendra Modi uses poison, I'm using a strong word but Mr Narendra Modi uses poison of hatred to divide this country He uses anger and hatred to divide the people."
He said, "We will continue to fight Narendra Modi and his hate with love. He represents hatred and insecurity. He represents lies."
After the crowd at Wayanad chanted 'chowkidar chor hai', Rahul said it is the first time since elections that he is hearing this slogan again.
"My job is to listen to the people of Wayanad, understand their difficulty and work for them. Modi uses the poison of hatred to run his campaign. He uses lies to win the elections. But Congress party has always stood with truth and love," Rahul said.
