TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Invoking Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals of adherence to truth and communal harmony, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of dividing the country and making false promises.
Addressing a rally in Wardha to kick off the Congress’s programmes in the 150th birth anniversary year of the father of the nation, Rahul Gandhi once again targeted Modi over the Rafale fighter jet deal. “Every day the prime minister fights against those things (ideals) for which (Mahatma) Gandhi sacrificed all his life, took three bullets. Gandhiji talked about uniting the country.
Modiji talks about breaking up the people of the country,” the Congress chief said at Wardha in Maharashtra, where Mahatma Gandhi’s Sevagram Ashram is located. The prime minister pitched one religion against another, one community against another and spread hatred among people, Rahul Gandhi alleged.
“Gandhiji insisted on (always) speaking the truth… I want to ask you, when Modiji made the promise of depositing Rs 15 lakh in the account of every person, was he speaking the truth or did he lie?” he asked the crowd.
