New Delhi: Continuing sharp attack on BJP-led NDA government and PM Narendra Modi’s polices, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said, “Whenever PM Modi speaks either in a rally, event or in foreign countries, people start looking for truth and search for where he lied because he hardly speaks truth. His words carry no weigh.”
He attacked BJP government fiercely while addressing ‘Jan Aakrosh Rally’ held at Ramlila Ground on Sunday afternoon.
As per the Congress party’s claims, more than 2 lakh people had participated in the rally.
Aimed to give strong message to the ruling party in the run up of assembly election in Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, Congress organised ‘Jan Aakrosh Rally’ to counter and corner the Modi government.
This is the first such national-level rally of Rahul Gandhi since he became the president of the grand old Congress party.
He further said, “There is war not between Congress and BJP but between Truth and lies. And by winning upcoming assembly elections and General Elections of 2019 we will prove it.”
In addition to that, lauding the courage of his party workers, Rahul Gandhi said, “Every Congress worker is “Sher Ka Baccha”.who works hard under the sun”.
Taking jibe on RSS’s ideology, Rahul Gandhi said, “Recently, senior party leader Salman Khurshid spok against the party line unlike the RSS’s single ideology, I respect his ideologies, his feelings. And I can assure each and every one from this stage that I will protect different ideologies and I will nurture them.”
Later he advised Khurshid, “When we are fighting with a common enemy RSS, we have to be together our focus should be on defeating them.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, former Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, Leader of Opposition (Rajya Sabha) Gulam Nabi Azad and other senior party leaders were also present in the rally and ignited the crowed with their speeches.
While concluding his speech, he said, “I had decided not to speak on this but later I jumped to the conclusion that I should reveal because you all are party of family. When I was on way to Karnataka and my flight fell 8,000 feet down due to technical snag I remember god and he saved me. So, I have decided to pay visit to Kailash Mansarovar Pilgrimage post Karnataka election and I will be on leave for a week or so.”
