Rahul targets PM Modi over surgical strikes, says he is doing ‘khoon ki dalali’
NEW DELHI : In a full-blown attack, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targeted PM Narendra Modi over surgical strikes by Indian Army in Pakistan’s territory. Rahul Gandhi has accused PM Narendra Modi of doing ‘khoon ki dalali’.
“Hamare jawan hain jinho ne khoon diya hai, jinho ne surgical strike kiya,unke khoon ke peeche aap (PM) chhupe huye ho,” Rahul Gandhi accused PM Narendra Modi. ((You are hiding behind the blood of our jawans who conducted surgical strikes)”Unki (jawans) aap (PM) dalali kar rahe ho,” Rahul Gandhi added.
“Aapne 2 cheezeein zarur ki hain, ek Hindustani ko dusre se ladane ka kaam kia, baantne ka kaam kia hai,” Rahul Gandhi added in his accusations against PM Narendra Modi and calling him a divisive figure,
“Ye desh Modi ji se insaaf chata hai, aur ye unki zimmedari hai. Kahan hai 15 lakh, kaha hai unke saare vaade,” Rahul Gandhi asked. (This nation wants justice from PM Modi; it’s PM responsibility. Where are Rs 15 lakh, and all those promised made by PM)
Rahul Gandhi made these remarks against PM Narendra Modi while he was addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh. He was doing Kisan Yatra in the poll-bound state. Earlier, Rahul had congratulated PM Modi for surgical strikes. Rahul Gandhi’s comment came two days after another Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam had called the surgical strikes by Indian Army as fake asking for the proof of the action by forces
The yatra which began on September 6 from UP’s Rudrapur will end in a rally in Delhi on Thursday. Rahul will address the rally and give the final call to farmers seeking their support for the 2017 elections.
Rahul covered 234 Assembly segments in UP through his kisan yatra, which served to bring the party back in the poll equation of the state. Congress leaders said that until the yatra, the Congress was not even being discussed seriously in the state’s political landscape where incumbents Samajwadis are pitted against Mayawati’s Dalit majority BSP and the BJP which is seeking to consolidate Hindus.
The Congress vice president visited various temples, mosques and gurdwaras during his UP sojourn in a bid to project his party as all-encompassing.The Congress chose farmers as the theme to find an issue that could resonate across castes, says RPN Singh, former minister and a senior UP Congress leader. He says Rahul’s pro-farmer pitch has created an impact on account of the Congress’s moral high ground on the issue.
It was the Congress government under former PM Manmohan Singh which waived Rs 77,000 crore of farm loans, Singh says.Rahul repeated the loan waiver promise in UP and is expected to raise the agrarian crisis when he speaks in Delhi on Thursday.The yatra was planned by Congress strategist Prashant Kishor, who has crafted a dramatic conclusion for it.
