Gandhi compared the BJP government to the Kauravas from Mahabharat for their 'growing arrogance' in the country.
Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on BJP government in his concluding remark at the two-day plenary session.
Gandhi compared the BJP government to the Kauravas from Mahabharat for their ''growing arrogance'' in the country.
"Centuries ago there was huge battle on the field of Kurukshetra. The Kauravas were powerful and arrogant. The Pandavas were humble and fought for the truth. Like the Kauravas BJP and RSS are designed to fight for power, like the Pandavas, Congress is designed to fight for truth," said Gandhi.
"Will India live a lie or will India have the courage to face the truth? Today, the corrupt and powerful control the conversation in the country," Gandhi said. "We were the fastest growing economy in the world. But today millions of youth face unemployment."
Rahul Gandhi also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the farmers' grave condition in the nation .
"Farmers are dying everywhere but all they say is 'chalo yoga karte hain'(let's do Yoga)," the Congress president said.
"They tell Muslims of India who never went to Pakistan and supported this great nation that you don't belong here. They tell the Tamils change your beautiful language, they tell people of north-east we don't like what you eat and tell the women to dress properly," he further said.
The Congress president also blamed the BJP government for the murder of senior journalist Gauri Lankesh for 'raising her voice' and also accused them for shadowing billionaire businessman Nirav Modi accused in the PNB scam.
"They told Gauri Lankesh and Kalburgi, question us and you will die. They tell our honest businessman to shut up and allow corrupt officers to extort their hard earned money. They tell our farmers to work for nothing," Gandhi said.
"You can steal Rs 33,000 crore from the banks and the BJP government will protect you. Finance Minister will go silent because he and his daughter work for crony capitalists," he added.
While attacking the PM Modi-led government, Gandhi also admitted for letting the nation down during UPA's last regime.
"I don't say it with happiness but the last government we formed did not stand up to the expectations of the people. The people of the country were let down by us," Gandhi said.
"We have to change Congress. There is a wall between our leaders and workers. My first task will be to break that wall. I will consult senior leaders to destroy that wall with love," he added.
