Rahul Gandhi's just-concluded tour to the US has come as a surprise to political observers. His confident takes on issues concerning India, especially jobs, economy as well as the idea of religious tolerance have won him many admirers. This is also the first time when Rahul has taken on Narendra Modi from a foreign soil. His statements have been widely reported by media across the world and also created a buzz on social media. This US trip may mark the rise of the politician – Rahul Gandhi. Here we take a look at all the political bombs he hurled at Modi from the US. In next slides, read some of the top comments made by Rahul during his US visit. On Make in India Rahul Gandhi said that Modi government's "Make in India" is one policy that he wished his Congress party had introduced. "I like the 'Make in India' concept but they are not targeting whom they should. My implementation and focus would be slightly different," the Congress Vice president said. "PM Modi feels large businesses should be targeted. I feel medium and small companies should be targeted. That is where the jobs are going to come from," the 47-year-old said. (Rahul Gandhi/Twitter) 
On GST and Demonetisation Rahul Gandhi called note ban and Goods and Services Tax (GST) "hastily implemented" moves and which caused "tremendous damage to the Indian economy". Gandhi said that note ban was taken without discussion with the Chief Economic Advisor and Parliament. (Rahul Gandhi/Twitter) -

On Intolerance and violence Asserting that India's reputation in the world is very important, Gandhi said the world was transforming and the people were looking towards India. "Many countries in a violent world are looking towards India and saying maybe India has the answer for the 21st century. May be India has the answer for peaceful co-existence in the 21st century. So we cannot afford to lose our most powerful asset," said the Congress leader. (Rahul Gandhi/Twitter) 
On BJP's IT Cell "There is a BJP machine. Some 1000 guys sitting on computers telling you about me. It's a tremendous machine, all day they spread abuse about me, say that I am a reluctant politician… and the operation is run by the gentleman who is running our country," Rahul Gandhi said.

On Employment Making an important point, Gandhi said the reason for the rise of PM Modi and also of US President Donald Trump was creation of jobs. "A large part of our populations simply do not have jobs and cannot see a future and so they are feeling the pain. And they have supported these type of leaders. The problem is that the record on jobs of these leaders – I do not know Trump so I won't go there – but certainly our Prime Minister is not good enough." (Rahul Gandhi/Twitter)
