New Delhi [India], November 21 (ANI): In reaction to Rahul Gandhi blaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi for India's World Cup Final loss to Australia, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that such reference shows signs of "desperation" and "mental instability".

"There's more than irony or hypocrisy at work here - that a 55yr old who has never worked a day in his life, whose family has exploited the country like Parasites for decades with their corruption and whose govt destroyed the country economically in the LostDecade, wud refer like this to our PM is a sign of desperation and mental instability," Chandrasekhar said in a post on 'X' on Tuesday.

Chandrasekhar said that the reason for such a derogatory reference is because PM Modi is a "nightmare" for Congress crooks, India's enemies and terrorists.

"The reason is that PM @narendramodiji is a nightmare for the Crooks of Congress, for enemies of India and Terrorists," he added.

Lauding the Prime Minister, the Union Minister said, "For all others, he is world's most popular political leader, whose experience, hard work, and vision has transformed the lives of people, grown our economy and earned respect all over India and the world - from Silicon Valley to our villages - from tech to farmers."Earlier Rahul Gandhi while addressing a rally in Barmer claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's presence in the Narendra Modi stadium was the reason behind India's World Cup final loss.

"Our guys were playing well, they would have won the world cup. But 'Panauti' made us lose. The TV guys won't tell you this but people know," Rahul said while campaigning at Rajasthan's Barmer on Monday. (ANI)
