Throw out Modi govt: Rahul Gandhi

Winding up his road show for Assembly poll, Rahul Gandhi dismissed as ‘lies’ Narendra Modi government's claims on Gujarat's development front.

Winding up his road show for Assembly poll, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Friday dismissed as ‘lies’ Narendra Modi government’s claims on Gujarat’s development front alleging it has not delivered on promises of welfare schemes for tribals and asked the voters to ‘throw out’ the regime.

Lambasting Modi’s ‘Resurgent Gujarat’ campaign, Rahul alleged the Chief Minister had used public money to project his government.

“People should throw out this (Modi) government as they are lying on the state’s development,” Rahul said at one of the meetings during his road show in Vadodara and added that ‘people are well aware and BJP can’t fool people every time with their false propaganda’.

“Gujarat stands at fifth position as far as industrial development is concerned. The state is behind Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi,” Rahul said in his brief speech where an impressive crowd, mostly youths, had gathered to listen to him.

In the field of education, Vadodara was once considered as a main education centre not only in the country but also abroad but the standard of education here has come down during BJP rule, the Congress leader charged.
