Gujarat Elections 2017 | Rahul Gandhi: If Congress is dead, why is PM Narendra Modi dedicating speeches to us?

Congress president designate Rahul Gandhi on Monday questioned the logic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicating 50% of his speech to Congress when the latter in the same breath says it is a dead party.

"These days 50% of Modiji's speeches are about Congress. The rest are about himself. He keeps saying that Congress is a dead party, then why does he feel compelled to talk about the Congress so much," said Gandhi.

The Congress leader who was addressing his second public meeting of the day in Viramgam said the PM has moved on from Narmada water to OBC to Vikas and now only talks of himself and Congress. "This is because after 22 years of ruling Gujarat, the truth has finally caught up with him," said Gandhi.

He said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Modi have clearly said no to any farm loan waiver for farmers. "But if you come in a Mercedez Benz or fly by helicopter and wear a Rs10 lakh suit, they will listen to your demands to waive off loans. That is how 10 to 15 rich friends of Modiji had their loans waived off," said Gandhi.
