TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress President Rahul Gandhi has made a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of being “hollow” and speaking “lies” while being silent on pressing issues concerning the judiciary, women, Dalits, youth, farmers besides corruption.
Addressing a well-attended Jan Akrosh rally at the Ramlila Maidan here, Gandhi tore into the Modi government’s record in office so far and said the Congress will not only win the forthcoming Assembly polls in Karnataka but all Assembly polls this year and the Lok Sabha polls next year.
“Four years of Modi government have given unemployment, BJP MLAs committed atrocities on women, informal sector was destroyed, Modiji could not stand up to China,” Gandhi said.
The enthusiastic gathering at the rally, which came almost a year before the Lok Sabha polls and signalled Gandhi’s intention to build up electoral momentum with sharp attacks on Modi, loudly cheered the Congress chief, who packed a lot of punch in his 30-minute speech, repeatedly citing Modi’s description of himself as “chowkidar” (guard).
