Amreli: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that there is a “partnership” between the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate and Adani.
“There is partnership between Modi and Adani,” he alleged saying that all senior leaders like L K Advani, Jaswant Singh, Yashwant Sinha and Sushma Swaraj have been sidelined for the partnership with Adani.
“The money they (Modi govt) gave to Adani is being in turn used for his marketing (election campaign). Big posters are coming up all over the country. From where is the money coming ..You tell me ?” he asked.
“This is the Gujarat Model. You give all the benefits to one industrialist. We are not against industrialisation,” Rahul said mocking the model.
“The voice that comes from here (Gujarat) is me me me me. People of Gujarat have done nothing, women of Gujarat have done nothing, teachers of Gujarat have done nothing… for the last 60 years you have done nothing,” he said.
Continuing his tirade against Modi, Rahul alleged that the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate is spreading “lies” on the issue of death of farmers in Gujarat.
“6,000 farmers have committed suicide in Gujarat. He (Modi) goes all over the country and says that no farmer has committed suicide in Gujarat. However, the reality is 6,000 farmers have committed suicide here,” Rahul said.
He also raised the issue of alleged snooping on a woman.
“Gujarat police tapes phone of one woman. He asks Gujarat police to find out what the woman is doing. But, in Delhi their posters say that they will empower women. Women of the country do not need power, they are already powerful. Give them some honour,” Rahul said.
He will address two other rallies in Gujarat ahead of the single phase of polls on April 30 in 26 constituencies of the state.
