New Delhi: After Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Adolf Hitler and accused him of subjugating various democratic institutions in collusion with the RSS to “mutilate” the Constitution, Union minister Smriti Irani took to twitter to “thank” him “sincerely” for “all that you do.”

“@OfficeOfRG, a bleak future awaits the Congress Party, not our Nation!...However, thank you @officeofRG for all that you do. Sincerely from the BJP!????,” tweeted the Union minister, who had unsuccessfully contested against Mr Gandhi from the Amethi constituency in 2014.

In another tweet, Ms Irani wrote “@OfficeOfRG u r 42 yrs late on this 1. No prizes for guessing who was inspired by Hitler, imposed the emergency and trampled over democracy.” 

Addressing an event in Karnataka on Friday, Mr Gandhi accused Mr Modi of seeking to subjugate various democratic institutions of the country in collusion with the RSS and the bureaucracy with an aim to “mutilate” the Constitution. Later, Mr Gandhi also tweeted, “Hitler, once wrote: Keep a firm grasp on reality, so you can strangle it at any time(.) This is what is happening today-strangulation of reality.” In another tweet, he said that emperor “is completely naked” but nobody around him has the “courage” to tell him that.
