Stung by repeated barbs by BJP leaders at former prime minister Manmohan Singh, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the voice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “feebler even than that of a mouse”.“The voice of PM, who has given the clarion call of Make in India, is not of a roaring lion, but even feebler than that of a mouse,” Rahul told an election meeting in Mahsi assembly constituency here that goes to polls on February 27.His retort came hours after BJP president Amit Shah at a rally in Azamgarh, nearly 300 km away, mocked Rahul for “often asking” as to what the Modi government has done for the country.
