Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said he is not afraid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi or "his enforcement agencies" and finds his "arrogance" amusing.
The Congress leader said the BJP changed its chief ministers in Uttarakhand as they were all corrupt and "replaced one thief with another".
Addressing a rally at Manglaur in Haridwar district ahead of the assembly polls in the state, Gandhi said, "Modi said in a an interview recently that I don't listen to him. He was right. I don't listen to him because I am not afraid of him or his CBI and ED."
He said the three farm laws were withdrawn only because of the country's farmers and the Congress.

Rahil Gandhi said he finds Modi's arrogance amusing.
It reflects his arrogance when he says nothing was done in the country in the last 70 years, he said.
