Earlier, Gandhi launched Congress party's campaign at the tribal dominated Dhule in north Maharashtra.
In a bid to reinvigorate the cadre who is down and out after the party drew a blank in the last LS Polls, Congress President Rahul Gandhi exhorted them to fight the upcoming polls with full gusto and vigor. In an all gun blazing speech of 40 minutes Gandhi launched a frontal attack on the Modi government. He went ahead and promised slum dwellers of a 500 sq ft house in 10 days if the party is voted back to power. He also reiterated and promised a minimum income guarantee scheme.
Gandhi once again raised his pet peeve Rafale and mimicked Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that Modi was struggling to hide his face in the parliament from MPs as well as his countrymen during the recently concluded parliamentary session struggling to defend the indefendable.
Gandhi while ridiculing the Make In India campaign pointed out that the mike on his podium was either Chinese or German made. Hinting that the campaign had flopped he promised that the Congress would push for indigenously manufactured goods out of Dharavi and Mumbai.
Stating that the current dispensation has created the narrative of two Indias, one of the moneyed scamsters like Modi, Choksi and Ambani, and another of poor and landless. The other India continues to suffer at at the former's cost. He alleged PM Modi has waived debt of 15 select industrialists but did not implement crop loan waiver for farmers who are in distress. He took a dig at PM Kisan scheme of providing Rs 6,000 to farmers with land holding up to 2 hectare saying that the farmers will get just Rs 3.50 per day.
Earlier, Gandhi launched Congress party's campaign at the tribal dominated Dhule in north Maharashtra. Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not taking a break from his endless public relation exercises even at a time when India-Pakistan relations had hit a nadir. He alleged that Modi has not kept a single promise whether it is of two crore jobs or good prices for farmers for their produce.
"The Indian Prime Minister can't keep his public relations aside even for five minutes, and that's the difference between him and us," he said.
