Meanwhile, Congress president-elect Rahul Gandhi too took a dig at PM Modi on Tuesday saying that flying in a sea-plane was good but is a distraction as well.
"There is nothing wrong if Prime Minister Modi wants to fly in the sea-plane, it`s a good thing. But it`s a distraction.
The main question is what did he do for the people in the last 22 years?" asked Rahul, while addressing a press conference in Gandhinagar.
The statement by Gandhi was made after PM Modi travelled from Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad to Dharoi Dam via seaplane.
