Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Monday, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal, accusing them of failing to curb inflation, the Hindustan Times reported.
“Inflation is at its peak. Poor people are becoming poorer and rich people are becoming richer. Ambani and Adani do marketing for PM Modi. Have you ever seen PM Modi, Arvind Kejriwal saying anything about Adani? …We don’t want a country of billionaires,” ANI quoted the Congress leader as saying at the “Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan” rally in Delhi’s Seelampur area.
Continuing his attack on Prime Minister Modi, Gandhi said,”People of BJP and RSS are destroying the Constitution. They are spreading hatred… We travelled 4000 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to save the Constitution.”
“Prime Minister Modi, BJP and RSS attack Dr BR Ambedkar’s Constitution every day… Only love will defeat hatred in the country…I don’t want an India where the billionaires can do anything. People like Ambani and Adani have bought the whole nation and controlled all the businesses,” he added.
Rahul Gandhi targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, also a member of the INDIA bloc, stating, “Kejriwal promoted a ‘clean Delhi’ agenda, promised to transform it into Paris, and eliminate corruption, yet pollution and inflation continue to rise.”
Both Congress and AAP are contesting the Delhi elections independently.
“People should ask Kejriwal if he supports reservation for the backward and a caste census. Vote for Congress, and we will ensure development as we have in the past; neither Kejriwal nor the BJP can deliver what we can,” Gandhi was quoted by PTI as saying.
