In a scathing attack on PM Narendra Modi and the 'corrupt' AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday charged that the Prime Minister was seeking to "remote control" Tamil Nadu through Chief Minister K Palaniswami. Rahul billed himself as a "honest" man and said Modi cannot control him.
