Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi continued his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that the central government has brought the black money disclosure scheme just to save the friends of the Prime Minister.
He alleged that PM in order to save the big fish involved in black money has brought the black money disclosure scheme. "It is like fair and lovely cream brought by Modi to save the people and his friends stashing black money in the country and converting them to white," he charged on his one month long Deoria se Delhi Kisan Yatra in Meerut , which concluded at New Delhi later in the evening. Rahul also visited Raj Ghat to pay floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi said that all the claims of the PM proved false starting from his 56 inches chest, fighting against corruption and seizing the black money. "He is just interested in giving benefit to 15 selected industrialist friends and doing nothing for the farmers, workers, youths and other section of the society," he alleged. "Modi and his 15 friends are 'mast' in this regime, while all others are 'trast'," he further claimed.
Addressing series of road side meetings during his three kilometer long road show in the Meerut city, Gandhi said this time, people are aware of the wrong doings of the BJP and they would not allow so that only 15 people rule Uttar Pradesh or the centre. "UP will go for a government which will be represented by every caste and community," he said.
Commencing his road show after garlanding the statue of late PM Indira Gandhi, his grandmother, the Congress vice- president asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to have faith in the Indian army. The Road show concluded at Moinuddinpur after being welcomed at more than 25 places during the road show.
Gandhi also took a swipe at ruling Samjwadi Party, saying he will give UP a government of farmers, labourers and people of every religion and caste and not that of a selected few. Training his guns on the family-led Samajwadi Party
government in the state, Gandhi said, "Uttar Pradesh will not have a government of just 15 persons. The government here will be of farmers, labour, small shopkeepers, and of people from every religion and caste." The Congress vice President said he will force the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre for a loan waiver for the distressed farmers. "We want higher MSP for farmers, we want to waive the farm loans so join me and come to Delhi along with me. We all
will pressurise Modiji to waive farm loans. In the last two and half years Narendra Modi waived Rs 1.10 lakh crore loan to 15 big corporate houses. Then why can't he waive the farmers' loan," he said.
Gandhi's yatra passed through various constituencies in Meerut and entered Modinagar where he was accorded a rousing welcome by party workers before he headed for Delhi. The youth congress workers riding on motorcycles also joined Rahul cavalcade in Kaushambhi at Gaziabad. He is accompanied by party's chief ministerial face Sheila Dikshit, UPPCC president Raj Babbar and actor-turned politician Nagma.
According to statistic given by team PK ,which has organised his yatra, Rahul Gandhi has covered 3438 kilometers during his 26 days yatra covering 48 districts and 57 lok Sabha constituencies of UP. The Congress vice-president addressed 26 khat sabhas and went for 26 road shows with addressing more than 700 small road side meetings. Earlier it was planned that the yatra will cover around 2500 kms. During the yatra, over 75 lakh farmers also filled up 'Mangpatras'(demand papers) demanding from the centre to waive their agricultural loan, half the electricity bills and hike the MSP of the food grains they produce.
