PM #NarendraModi Took Hour-Long Economics Lesson From Dr Manmohan Singh, Says #RahulGandhi

“After Manmohanji said yesterday that the economy is going down, the PM invited him for an hour-long pathshala (class). Perhaps he tried to understand how the economy runs, I will ask Dr Singh,” said Mr Gandhi, smiling as he drew a roar of laughter from his audience, made up of members of the NSUI, the Congress student’s wing.

On Wednesday evening, PM Modi met Dr Singh at the former’s Race Course Road residence in what was described by the Prime Minister’s Office as a courtesy call. Dr Singh’s office said the PM had invited Dr Singh to discuss the economy and foreign policy.

Today, Mr Gandhi once again ripped into PM Modi and his BJP-led government’s reforms agenda alleging that it was “making mistake after mistake.”

“Make in India will amount to zero… why wait five years, see their record of the past one year,” Rahul Gandhi said of the PM’s pet initiative and exhorted his audience to “start spreading the word.”

He also asked his cadres to counter what he called the ruling BJP’s attempt to “impose RSS ideology” in the country, saying, “Wherever they want to being RSS order, please take your Congress disorder there to stop them.”

Attacking the RSS for its famed discipline, Mr Gandhi said, “Discipline is an excuse for suppressing individuality.”

The Congress leader also brought up familiar themes in his recent speeches like PM Modi’s foreign visits, this time saying, “Modiji has visited even Mongolia, but he has not visited a farmer’s house.”
