Rahul Gandhi

"Everybody understand­s the relationsh­ip the prime minister has with certain businessme­n in the country. Everybody understand­s the amount of money that goes into the marketing of the prime minister and everybody knows who have funded that. One of those people was given the Rafale contract. The gentleman benefited to the tune of ~450 billion."

“You said every person will get ~1.5 million — this is jumla No 1. You said two crore youth will gets jobs every year, this is jumla No 2."

“The PM doesn’t go out… he travels abroad but never leaves his security cordon. He doesn’t speak to small businessme­n just to the suit boot people.”

“This is the first time that women safety is in such bad conditions. There are reports of attacks on Dalits, Adivasis, minorities. The prime minister never says a word about them. Are they not a part of our country?

Instead, their ministers go and garland the convicts. There is an Indian getting beaten in every corner, but the PM stays mum.”

Narendra Modi

"You called the surgical strike ajumlaStri­ke. You can abuse me as much as you want but stop insulting the jawans of India. I will not tolerate this insult to our forces.”

"~18,000 billion was disbursed as loans to different business houses in the 60 years of independen­ce, but between 2008 and 2014, the amount jumped to ~52,000 billion. How did it happen? The Congress disbursed ~34,000 billion through ‘phone banking’. Whenever some businessma­n called, his loan was approved. Whenever he had repay the loan, he was given another loan."

"We are ‘bhagidars’( participan­ts) of the country and ‘chaukidars’ (guards) too, but not ' saudagars' (businessme­n) or ‘ thekedars’( contractor­s) like you.”
