Congress Tests New Strategy of Personal Attacks on PM Modi
- Congress launches personal attack on PM Modi, calling him "panauti" (unlucky) in hopes it sticks like "pappu" did for Rahul Gandhi
- Congress admits previous personal attacks backfired, but feels "panauti" remark won't hurt them
- Congress cites BJP's attacks and "duplicity of outrage" to justify getting aggressive
- Congress bets "panauti" resonates in cricket-crazy India more than previous attacks
- Results will show if new strategy works or backfires as Congress hopes "panauti" sticks to Modi
