PM Modi sacrificed the poor for yajna for rich: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul alleged that demonetisation was a ruse for massive loan write-offs to the “super rich”, and that it had hurt the poor, farmers and women by “sucking up” their hard-earned money.

“These 50 families have made Modiji. They pay for the expensive advertisement slots on TV and fly with him. These people have taken Rs 8,00,000 crore from India’s public sector banks and now they will not repay this money… So Modi ji faces two problems, first, how to write off the debts of his friends and second, that banks are unable to extend any more loans. So Modi ji started this rashtra yajna against corruption, sacrificed the poor, the farmer, the middle class, the small shop owner,” he said.

Rahul’s aggressive targeting of the PM, laced with sarcastic humour, drew an enthusiastic response from party workers.
