Ramnagar : Kicking off the Congress campaign in poll-bound Bihar, Rahul Gandhi on Saturday raked up the “suit boot ki sarkar” jibe to target the Modi government, warning people that they would lose their land and livelihood if NDA came to power.
Addressing a rally in West Champaran region where Mahatama Gandhi had waged a battle to free farmers from indigo farming forced by Britishers, Rahul Gandhi suggested that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the anti-thesis of the Mahatma.
“While the Mahatma shed his suit and donned a dhoti as he led the poor farmers, Modi who claimed to have started as a chaiwala (tea seller) started wearing Rs 15 lakh suit after becoming Prime Minister,” Gandhi said.
A day before the Congress is organising a mega-kisan samman rally in the national capital, Gandhi said , “Modiji and his friends wearing suit-boot want to usurp your land. They say you give your land and they will give development and jobs to the youth of Bihar.”
“We have formed this alliance because we want to protect poor, weak and the oppressed. We want to save you from Modiji and his friends”. (PTI)
