Rahul takes on Modi in Cong’s push for Delhi

Hindustan Times  

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, the final day of campaigning in the national capital ahead of polling for the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections. Speaking at an election rally in Dilshad Garden, east Delhi, in support of the Congress’ North East Delhi candidate Kanhaiya Kumar, Rahul referred to Modi’s statement “God has sent me” during a recent television interview and said that “if a commoner had made such a remark, people would have asked him to go get checked ”. Rahul also continued his criticism of the central government’s Agniveer scheme and said the INDIA bloc will “throw the scheme in the dustbin” if voted to power because “it is against the army and patriotism”. Rahul also reiterated the INDIA bloc’s allegations against the BJP that the party will “change the Constitution” if it wins the Lok Sabha elections. It is not simply a book, our Constitution carries thousands of years of ideological heritage of Gandhi, Ambedkar and Nehru,” the Congress leader said, adding that the BJP also “planned to end reservations”.
