After a spectacular roadshow in Varanasi, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi launched yet another attack on BJP and its PM candidate Narendra Modi while speaking at an impressive election rally at Chandauli on Saturday.
“We want people to have big dreams but the BJP wants only Adani to dream big. We want to empower you but BJP suppresses your strength. BJP takes your money and hands it over to 2-3 industrialists,” he said.
“The most important contribution of this land is that you gave us an ideology — that of lord Buddha. He had taught us to treat everyone equally and take all along. He had understood this ideology 3,000 years back; he had travelled across India spreading the message of unity and peace. He taught us that every individual must have a space in our country. This has been the ideology of Congress too,” he said further striking a chord with the huge crowd.
“Congress believes that the benefits of development must reach people. Opposition wants entire wealth must go to 2-3 industrialists,” said Gandhi. He once again slammed Gujarat Model and said, “There are big talks about Modi’s Gujarat development. But let us just examine some of the facts of this much-hyped model. About 45,000 acres of land in Gujarat were given to one businessman at Rs 1 per metre.”
