GANDHINAGAR : Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that Gujarat is priceless and can never be bought. Rahul’s comments came as two Patidar leaders, who had joined the BJP, levelled bribery charges against the party. “Gujarat is priceless. It has never been been bought. It can never be bought. It will never be bought,” Gandhi said on Twitter.
Both Paridar leaders — Narendra Patel and Nikhil Sawani — have now returned to the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS). Patel addressed a press conference on Sunday to claim that the BJP had offered him Rs 1 crore to join the saffron brigade. He even showed the Rs 10 lakh cash that the BJP had given him on Sunday, with the promise of giving another Rs 90 lakh on Monday.
Sawani has further alleged that the BJP is offering bribes to other Patidar leaders to join them. However, while PAAS chief Hardik Patel has refused to join Congress, Sawani says he is open to meet Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi.
The BJP has rubbished Patel’s charges and said it was a “drama” staged at the behest of the Congress. “All these allegations are false. It was a drama (enacted) by Narendra Patel at the behest of Congress,” Gujarat BJP spokesperson Bharat Pandya said.
“You can put in as much money as you want, but that won’t change the mood of people. Today’s government wants to muzzle the voice of Gujarat, they want to buy it. But Modi ji you cannot buy the voice of Gujarat,” he said while speaking at the ‘Navsarjan Janadesh Mahasammelan’ in Gandhinagar.
Sharing the ‘dil ki baat’ of the people of Gujarat, Rahul said that the youngsters in Gujarat do not get good education, do not have good jobs.”Youth want education. But in the last 22 years, you have handed over the charge of the universties in the hands of a handful of businessmen. This has led to exorbitant cost of education. Students in Gujarat are unable to pay this cost of education cost. There is also no employment in the state because of which youngsters have to go to other states,” he said.
Speaking over allegations against BJP President Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah, he questioned why Modi has not spoken on the corruption charges against on him. “The whole country wants to know what the Prime Minister has to say about Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah. You spoke a lot, gave long lectures about corruption, but will you speak even one line about this issue? He had said ‘na khaaunga na khaane dunga, ab khilana shuru kar diya,” Rahul allaged.
