Rahul joins Priyanka in attacking Modi on snoopgate

The BJP reacted by accusing Congress of being confused about its poll campaign and strategy and said its top leadership continued to launch personal attacks on BJP leaders. Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh: Rahul Gandhi today joined his sister Priyanka Gandhi in attacking Narendra Modi over snoopgate controversy, saying Gujarat government has no regard for women as it gets their phones tapped. “Gujarat government has no regard for women as they get their phones tapped while Congress respects women and believes in empowering them,” the Congress vice president said. “Modi who wants to guard the country sidelined senior BJP leaders like Jaswant Singh and LK Advani,” the Congress vice president said at the rally today. Continuing his tirade against the “Gujarat model” of development, Rahul said, “if UPA government had not implemented NREGA, farmers of Gujrat could have died of hunger.” Criticising Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh, Rahul said youths from the state go out in search of employment and when they go to Maharashtra they are beaten and forced to go back home by Shiv Sena and BJP.
