Odisha CM remote-controlled by corrupt Chowkidaar: Rahul

The Quint  

Bhubaneswar, Jan 25 Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was "remote-controlled by the corrupt Chowkidaar in Delhi", as he promised to waive farm loan if Congress is voted to power in Odisha. "Narendra Modi government at Delhi and Naveen Patnaik government in Odisha think in the same way: give all benefits to 15-20 industrialists and reap benefits from them," said Rahul. Attacking both Narendra Modi and Naveen Patnaik on growing unemployment, Gandhi said while Modi had promised to provide 2 crore jobs every year, Patnaik had assured people of 30 lakh jobs by 2020. All our leaders and party workers stand together in the mission to defeat Naveen Patnaik in state and Narendra Modi at the Centre and we will accomplish it," he said.
