TIL Desk/National/Rae Bareli/ On his first visit as Congress president to party bastions Rae Bareli and Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi has slammed the BJP, accusing it of continuously “lying” and not honouring its promises made to the people.
He was addressing a public meeting at Salon, which is located in Rae Bareli district but falls in his Lok Sabha constituency, Amethi. “The BJP people are continuously lying…one lie after the other. Whether it is pertaining to the Rs. 15 lakh in the bank accounts of people or giving a remunerative price to the farmers or construction of roads…,” Mr Gandhi said.
In the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the BJP had promised that it would deposit Rs. 15 lakh in the bank account of every citizen if it came to power. Stating that lakhs of youngsters were jobless in the country, Rahul Gandhi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi never uttered a word about them. He asked the Congress workers to “expose the lies” being propagated by the BJP.
“It is your responsibility to tell the public about the lies being said by the BJP. Also tell the people of Amethi about the various development works done by us. Whether it is related to the highways, the rail line network, the food park, the IIIT or the petroleum institute,” the Congress chief said.
