Mumbai: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming the credibility of his government has “eroded” and said he was surprised how this happened “very quickly”.
“It takes two-three-four years for the credibility of a government to decline but I am surprised the BJP government’s credibility has eroded very quickly,” the Congress vice-president said, addressing a rally of party workers in suburban Malad in North Mumbai. The Modi government assumed office on May 26, 2014.
At the rally, Rahul inducted late singer Mohammad Rafi’s son Shahed Rafi into Congress.
The Congress leader also questioned Modi’s silence on problems being faced by the poor. “It is all well to give speeches but Modi is silent on problems faced by the poor”.
Rahul, who was on a two-day visit to Mumbai, also asked partymen to shun internal differences and work unitedly to ensure that Congress comes back to power.
