Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the IDS window alleging that he had failed to act against black money despite his talk of “56-inch chest” to fight corruption, and instead brought out a a scheme for turning into white the ill-gotten wealth of “thieves”.
The Congress Vice President, who was speaking during his road show on the last day of his month-long Kisan Yatra from Deoria in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh to Delhi, pressed the Modi government to announce a debt waiver for farmers.
Gandhi also took a swipe at ruling Samjwadi Party, saying he will give UP a government of farmers, labourers and people of every religion and caste and not that of a selected few.
Lashing out at Modi government, he said only the Prime Minister and his friends were “happy” as money has come into the pockets of 15 top businessmen and not the farmers, labour and small shopkeepers.
“Modiji had said he has a 56-inch chest and will fight out corruption, but he instead brought out a ‘Fair and Lovely scheme’ for turning the blackmoney of the country’s thieves into white.
