TIL Desk/National/Sabalgarh(MP)/ Congress president Rahul Gandhi today said he would desist from opposing Narendra Modi the day the prime minister stopped “dividing” the country and started helping the poor. Campaigning for his party in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Mr. Gandhi again attacked PM Modi over his alleged proximity to businessmen, saying he worked for a handful of rich people.
Addressing a public meeting in Morena district, he said, “Someone said yesterday that Rahul Gandhi opposes Narendra Modi. I say that I do not oppose for the sake of opposing, there is a reason. “I will stop opposing Narendra Modiji the day he starts helping the shopkeepers, labourers and the poor. The day he stops the work of dividing the country, I will stop opposing Modiji.”
Accusing PM Modi of working for “15-20” rich people, Mr. Gandhi said, “Until Modi talks about justice, waives the loans of farmers, stands with the labourers, whatever the rest of Hindustan says, Rahul Gandhi will stand against him, because I believe you people are behind the progress of the country.” He alleged that the PM, in his Independence Day speech, had insulted the ancestors who toiled hard to build this country.
