Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad  attacked Prime minister Narendra Modi alleging that he had used abusive language and remained in election mode every time. "The language which PM used for Pt Nehru, Indiraji, Rajivji and Soniaji does not affect their stature but it lessens his stature as PM. PM doesn't belong to any person or a party, he is of entire country. He remains in election mode all 365 days and uses abusive language," he said. 

"I have many times said in Parliament that you (Modi) have become PM, you might not believe but we consider you as our PM and you should behave like PM. You use 'gali ki bhasha' (street language), which does not suit a PM," Azad said.

His outburst came against the backdrop of Modi saying in Parliament that one should learn the art of "bathing with a raincoat on" from Manmohan Singh as there was not a single taint on him despite so many scams having taken place during his regime.

About alliance with SP, Azad said both the parties have released their election manifesto and "we will run the government after making common minimum programme". He said secular parties had committed a mistake in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls due to which BJP got maximum number of seats in UP. 

An outraged Congress on Wednesday staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha when Prime Minister Narendra Modi trained guns on his predecessor Dr. Manmohan Singh, accusing him of letting corruption run free under his nose but managing to steer clear of any charges.

‘Dr. Manhmohan has played a significant role in the economic system of India. But during the most corrupt regime in the nation, there was not a single corruption charge against him. This art of taking bath wearing a raincoat must be learnt from Manmohan Singh,’ the Prime Minister said, setting off cries of outrage by the Congress.

Immediately the Congress MPs staged a walkout, to which the Prime Minister responded saying that if the Opposition breaches decorum, then they should also have the courage to listen to the response.

Outside the parliament, Manmohan maintained his trademark calm and simply chose not to respond to questions over the Prime Minister's statement.
