‘ Shiv Bhakt’ Rahul lashes out at PM Modi in Amethi
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the questions he had asked in the Rafael deal was “intriguing”.
He said that the Prime Minister gives speeches, but does not give answers.
Mr Gandhi, while addressing a meeting in Amethi, reiterated his Rafael charges. He also took a jibe at Mr Modi’s “chowkidar” statement and said, “Chowkidar so gaya.” He questioned why Mr Anil Ambani’s 10- day old company was given the contract to make the airrafts.
He said that the Prime Minister had failed to give jobs to two crore youths every day.
Mr Gandhi promised that as soon as the Congress returned to power, he would ensure employment opportunities for the youth and development of the constituency.
For Mr Gandhi, it was a welcome with a difference when he reached his parliamentary constituency Amethi on Monday on a two- day visit.
Mr Gandhi was given a rousing reception on his arrival. He garlanded a portrait of Lord Shiva and hundreds of ‘ kanwariyas’ welcomed him by showering petals and shouting “Bam Bam Bhole” and “Har Har Mahadev” — an obvious result of his recent pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarover.
Earlier, Mr Gandhi was also presented an image of Lord Shiv and his forehead was smeared with sandalwood paste.
A “bhandara” ( community feast) which is organised after one completes a pilgrimage, was also held in Musafirkhana on Monday.
