Rahul Gandhi shows ‘remote control’ at Chhattisgarh event, says ‘PM Modi also has one

Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Nyay Yojana in poll-bound Chhattisgarh through remote control, he said PM Narendra Modi also has a remote control, but he presses it ‘secretly’. “We press the button of the remote control in the open. But the BJP presses it secretly and Adaniji gets Mumbai airport — public sector becomes private,”

Rahul Gandhi said.”And when I questioned PM Modi on Adani in the Lok Sabha, I got the reply, my Lok Sabha membership got canceled,” Rahul Gandhi added. The attack comes as PM Modi addressed a rally in the poll-bound Madhya Pradesh and called the Congress a party with “rusted iron” that would push back Madhya Pradesh into the BIMARU category. Both Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will be going to the polls in a few months.

“During its erstwhile rule, Congress had pushed MP, which has rich resources, into a BIMARU (laggard) state whereas more than 13.5 crore people came out of poverty under the BJP rule in the last five years in the country,” the prime minister said. “The Congress and its allies in the Ghamandia bloc supported the Women’s Reservation Bill out of compulsion and hesitation as they understood the power of nari shakti. Its passage became possible as ‘Modi hai to Mumkin hai’. Modi means the guarantee of fulfilling guarantees,” the PM said.

Repeating what he said in the Lok Sabha during his intervention on the women’s reservation bill that there are only three OBC bureaucrats working for the government of India, Rahul Gandhi said “It will determine how many Dalits, OBCs, SC/STs are there. But the government is running away from the caste census.
