Nuh (Haryana): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday of being a “loudspeaker for Adani and Ambani” and alleged that he only talked about big businessmen and had taken out money from the pockets of the poor to give away to his “rich friends”.
Addressing his first rally here for the October 21 Haryana Assembly polls, Gandhi also attacked Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, alleging that both he and Modi did not talk about the poor and only thought about the welfare of “rich” businessmen.
He also hit out at the media, saying, “They will show the worshipping of the Rafale, but would not talk about the theft in it.”
“Narendra Modi is the loudspeaker of Ambani and Adani as he only talks about them all day.
“Modi and Khattar are taking away your money and giving it to their 15 rich friends,” Gandhi alleged.
“You call yourselves nationalists, why are you giving away India’s capital to your rich friends? Why are they selling PSUs to their rich friends?,” he asked.
“Modi’s work is to divert your attention from the real issues, so you do not ask any questions of them,” he said.
Accusing Modi of waiving Rs 5.50 lakh crore of 15 rich businessmen, Gandhi alleged that the media did not highlight the real issues.
“There is so much unemployment and they talk of Bollywood, the moon. They will show the worshipping of the Rafale (fighter jet) but will not talk about the theft in it…. There is shooting in Jim Corbett (National Park) but Modi will not say anything about what farmers want,” he said, training his guns on the media.
Gandhi also targeted the BJP and its ideological mentor RSS accusing them of dividing the country and its people on the basis of caste, religion and region. (PTI)
