Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were busy dividing society in their quest to retain power.<\/p>\n
Only the Congress ideology could take on the BJP and the RSS, he said at a party rally.<\/p>\n
Gandhi also took potshots at the Modi-led government on demonetisation and described the exercise as a total flop.<\/p>\n
\u201cEntire India knows that it turned the black money of India\u2019s \u2018thieves\u2019 to white,\u201d the Congress leader said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst they said demonetisation would result in checking terror. Then they said demonetisation would check black money. The reality is that everyone in India knows that 90 per cent of black money is in real estate, gold,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know the reason why Modi was after the cash of farmers, poor labourers and housewives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Gandhi also took a dig at the RBI, saying it took almost a year to announce that 99 per cent of the scrapped currency had been returned to the coffers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had asked in Parliament about the amount of black money unearthed in the demonetisation exercise. It took RBI a year to say that 99 per cent of old money came back in the coffers,\u201d the Congress leader said.<\/p>\n
He blamed the government for GDP reaching \u201ca low of 4.5 per cent\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho will own responsibility for this? The prime minister is responsible for this,\u201d Gandhi said.<\/p>\n
According to Gandhi, anger was building up with the BJP and Modi engaged in dividing society.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Haryana they pit Jat vs non Jat and in Maharashtra they create a Maratha vs non Maratha divide. Their only goal is that BJP and RSS should be in power,\u201d Gandhi alleged.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey speak of fight against corruption but they \u2018purchase\u2019 people (legislators) in Goa and Manipur and also try to purchase people in Gujarat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Only the Congress ideology, he added, could take on the BJP and RSS.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey (BJP and RSS) will fight one or two elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that it will be the Congress which will be in power.\u201d The Congress leader also criticised the Prime Minister over his promises of providing jobs to youth.<\/p>\n
\u201cModi had said he would give jobs to two crore youth every year after becoming the prime minister. Two years ago, we were told that just one lakh youth had got jobs and last last year the figure was zero,\u201d Gandhi claimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir minister informed that the unemployment figure is at the lowest… in the last several years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
