Hitting the campaign trail for the upcoming Assembly polls, star campaigner of the Congress party and leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi Wednesday tried to strike an emotional chord with the people of Jammu and Kashmir while promising to restore 'statehood' immediately after the formation of the government.
Launching a scathing attack on the Prime Minister, Rahul said Modi has lost his confidence after the recently held Lok Sabha elections and the time is not far when his government will be removed.
"We have finished Modi psychologically. I sit in front of him in Parliament and I know his confidence is gone… Now a little time has left, we will remove Modi and BJP from government," the leader of the opposition said.
Setting the poll pitch during his back-to-back election campaign meetings at Sangaldan in the Ramban district and Dooru Assembly constituency in Anantnag, Rahul announced, "I am here to tell you that BJP and RSS might tell you anything, we are going to give back statehood to the people of J&K. We wanted statehood to be restored before elections but BJP didn't want this, they wanted elections first".
