BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has ridiculed Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi`s recent statement that people "tremble with fear" when they see Rahul Gandhi. Poonawalla, in a response, joked that it is not the general public but Congress members themselves who are "trembling" at the prospect of Rahul Gandhi delivering speeches in Delhi. He suggested that Congress fears his speeches could inadvertently boost the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), making it a stronger contender in the region. "Priyanka Gandhi is saying that people tremble on seeing Rahul Gandhi. I agree with this. Congress people tremble a lot. They tremble so much that they have requested Rahul Gandhi not to give speeches in Delhi, otherwise AAP will start winning. People of his own party tremble at him," Poonawalla said.
