lauding yesterday's surgical strikes at PoK by the Indian Army, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi expressed his full support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
During the 'Deoria se dilli Kisan Yatra' meandering through the state, Rahul has been very critical of the Modi government.
"I support PM Narendra Modi when he works. It was the first time in his two-and-a-half year regime, that Modi ji acted like a PM. I fully support and congratulate Modi ji for his bold initiative," Rahul said during a road show in Bulundshahr on Friday morning.
"Not only me, the entire Congress party is with the PM and the government. I also thank the Indian Army for their sacrifices made for the country and their super human efforts," he commented.
later training his guns atthe PM over farmers' issues, Rahul said that the PM can not be spared for his lapses to address the crippling problems of the community. Once agin, the Congress leader raked up the issue of waiver of agri-loans and hiking the MSP of their produce besides lowering their power bills. He also accepted a memorandum from farmers of Bhatta- Parsaul area, who had come to attend the Yatra.
Rahul commenced his Yatra from Bulandshahr after a day's gap as he had to go for a court hearing at Guwahati on Thursday.
Duringthe first phase of the Yatra at Mati in Kanpur Dehat, Rahul had lambasted the Modi government for its 'skewed' policy on Jammu and Kashmir, saying that it had 'craeted space' for terrorism in the valley. "I stand by our soldiers and I condemn the Uri terror attack which had the backing of the Pakistan establishment. The PM has to do a rethink on national security as it is serious business," he had said.
