Mahatma's killers want us to take patriotism lessons from them: Rahul

Speaking at the Assam rally, Gandhi said that Modi doesn’t talk about the commitments he gave before Lok Sabha elections.

Guwahati

: The Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi here on Monday launched a frontal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS accusing them of trying to create communal divide to win the elections.

Addressing a public meeting at Titabor, the home constituency of Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi, Gandhi said that those who killed Mahatma Gandhi are now trying to propagate--one nation, one culture theory in the country.

“If this is allowed to happen what will happen to your culture in Assam,” said Mr Gandhi adding, “The killers of Mahatama Gandhi want us to take the certificate of patriotism from them.”

Congress vice-president who started his two-day visit to Eastern Assam, aimed at wooing tea-garden workers, also warned the estate workers to be careful of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s gimmick.

He said, “The BJP government was trying to snatch your subsidized ration and intends to stop MGNREGA and Right to Food Act which we started for the welfare of poor and downtrodden.”

Pointing out as to how BJP promised to give Rs 15 Lakh to every Indians if voted to power, Gandhi said, “Modi doesn’t talk about employment, inflation, or the other commitments that he gave before Lok Sabha elections.”

“Let him fulfil at least one commitment of giving Rs 15 Lakh in the account of every Indian,” said Gandhi adding, “You will not see his photograph with poor and working class people as he works exclusively for few selected industrialists of the country.”

He added, “You should be cautious, in this elections, he will come out with some new promises.”

Referring falling price of crude in the International market, the Congress leader said, “Its benefits has not been passed to the consumers, instead the government was making money out of it. All these money has been gifted to some of the industrialists of their choice.”

He said that BJP government led by Modi has failed to create even a single employment but have burdened the common man with inflation. “Modi doesn’t talk about pulses costing Rs 200 a kg. He doesn’t say as to how many employment his government has generated,” said Mr Gandhi while highlighting various welfare schemes of UPA regime.

Gandhi who will stay tonight at Sibsagar is also going to take part in a Padyatra besides holding consultations with the tea garden community leaders at Yuvadal Auditorium in Sivasagar district on Tuesday. Earlier he also addressed a meeting of women self-help groups and Congress booth workers.
