Bjp govt run by pickpockets says rahul gandhi
A day after describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Panauti (bad omen), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took another jibe at the BJP and said the party-led government at the Centre was being run by “pickpockets”. Mr. Gandhi said the BJP had failed to ensure equitable distribution of wealth during its rule.Addressing rallies in Rajasthan’s Dholpur and Bharatpur districts ahead of the Assembly election, Mr. Gandhi said Mr. Modi, his billionaire industrialist friend Gautam Adani and Home Minister Amit Shah were picking people’s pockets in the BJP rule at the Centre.
“Mr. Modi diverts [your] attention, Mr. Adani picks people’s pockets and Mr. Shah wields the lathi,” Mr. Gandhi said, adding that a pickpocket never came alone and there were always three persons involved in the activity.
“Mr. Modi comes from the front. He comes on television and distracts your attention by talking about Hindu-Muslim, demonetisation and GST. Mr. Adani comes from behind and picks your pocket and Mr. Shah keeps a watch from a distance with a stick,” the Congress leader said, adding that this was the way the Union government was being run for the last nine years.
‘Adani TV channels’
The Wayanad MP said Mr. Modi was visible on the television screen round-the-clock because Mr. Adani owned most of the TV channels. “Mr. Modi gives your money to Mr. Adani and has already handed over airports, ports, roads and cement plants to him. He has also made laws for [protecting] him,” Mr. Gandhi said.
