BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra
Modi today hit out at Congress for the "pain inflicted" on the people of
Andhra Pradesh due to the Telangana issue and said Sonia Gandhi and her
son Rahul don't have time to visit them even for a "healing touch".
"Two days ago Congress' mahanubhav (Rahul Gandhi) had come to Karnataka,
Congress President was also in South - I'm surprised that both madam
Sonia and Rahul are coming to south, but both don't have time to visit
neighboring Andhra Pradesh," Modi told a 'Bharata Gellisi' rally here.
"Today our Seemandhra and Telangana brothers need healing for their pain
inflicted by Congress, but they (Sonia, Rahul) don't have time to speak
a few words of healing touch to them," he said on a day when Lok Sabha
passed the Telangana Bill. Reminding that Congress' victory in Andhra
Pradesh helped it in form the government at the Centre in 2009, Modi
said, "... Today when Andhra Pradesh people are in trouble, Congress
leaders are not in a mood to speak to them... Congress is in such a
state that they are not bothered about people's emotions and
sufferings," he added.

During the Zero Hour, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien allowed Aiyar, who wanted to ask a question, to do so, which was opposed by BJP members. Kurien asked Aiyar whether he yielded to allow others to speak, to which he said he had no objection and he can ask his question later. As the House got ready to initiate discussion on Vote on Account, Kurien said, "Let us reduce the discussion to two hours from four hours," which was opposed by BJP members including Piyush Goyal who was given a chance to speak on Vote on Account. When it was agreed that discussion will take place as per schedule, Aiyar remarked he was not interested in listening to the speech by BJP member. "You had given me the chance to ask a question
