Helps the rich, not the poor: Rahul Gandhi puts Mamata, Modi in same bracket
Rahul Gandhi, addressing a rally in Serampore, accused both Mamata Banerjee and PM Modi of helping the rich instead of the poor, while hankering for power.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday sought to put Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the same bracket, accusing both of helping the rich instead of the poor, while hankering for power.
Addressing an election rally at Serampore in Hooghly district, Gandhi said that Modi "claims to be a 'deshbhakt' (patriot), but is selling off the country".
"While CM Mamata Banerjee is helping the rich, and not the poor in West Bengal, Modi is doing the same across the country... They both want power but don't work for people," he said.
"Wherever the PM goes, he spreads hatred and fear among people," the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha alleged.
He claimed that the country is witnessing a fight between two ideologies.
"It is the Congress's unity and brotherhood against the BJP and RSS's hatred and violence," he added.
