TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The country is being divided under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule, Congress president Rahul Gandhi alleged Monday and declared that a united opposition will defeat the BJP in the next elections. Addressing a protest rally with various opposition parties at the Ramlila grounds here, he also questioned the prime minister’s silence on rising fuel prices, the Rafale jet deal and issues such as farmer suicides, atrocities against women and unemployment.
Ramping up his attack against the prime minister, Gandhi said Modi in 2014 had made promises to the people of the country, youth, farmers and women, assuring them of jobs and their safety. “People believed in him and helped form his government,” he said. Four years on, people are clearly seeing what he has done, Gandhi added.
“Narendra Modi used to say that nothing has happened in 70 years and we will do that in four years. It is true, what he has done in four years has not happened in 70 years. Wherever you see, one Indian is fighting another. Wherever you go, they divide people — one religion with another, one caste with another and one state pitted against the other,” he said.
