New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday termed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi "a baby in diapers", following his remarks that people would reduce Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "56-inch chest to 5.6 inches".

"He has to grow out of diapers he is wearing. His remarks, behaviour remind us that he remains a baby in diapers," BJP spokesperson Sidharth Nath Singh said here in a press conference.

On Gandhi's remarks, Singh said, "The 56-inch chest he (Modi) has got, is not at your (Rahul's) mercy. It is due to pride of the poor, farmers and laborurers of the country."

In Jaipur, the Congress vice president said: "People, especially the poor and the farmers, will turn the 56-inch chest into 5.6 inches in six months... You just watch."
