Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was busy paying off the “debts of businessmen who had funded his election campaign” and that he was least interested about the debts of farmers.
Rahul started the fifth day of his “Kisan Mahayatra” from Tanda and went to Malipur where he was joined by senior party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad. He lashed out at the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, accusing it of not being concerned about the pitiable condition of farmers.
“If our government comes, we will waive off all loans of farmers,” he said, while taking a dig at the promise of Modi during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. He asked people if they got Rs 15 lakh in their accounts. When the people at the rally said no, he went on to say that the PM was in “fact wearing suits costing Rs 15 lakh”.
