The name Modi symbolises the collusion between India's biggest crony capitalists and the prime minister of India, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said. File/PTINew Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi launched an all-out attack on the ruling BJP and prime minister Narendra Modi as he addressed the party's plenary session here on Sunday. Rahul said the BJP was the voice of an organisation while the Congress was that of a nation.
Top quotes from his speech:
• Centuries ago there was a huge battle on the field of Kurukshetra. The Kauravas were powerful and arrogant. The Pandavas were humble and fought for the truth. Like the Kauravas, the BJP and RSS are designed to fight for power, like the Pandavas, Congress is designed to fight for truth.
• They told Gauri Lankesh and Kalburgi, question us and you will die. They tell our honest businessman to shut up and allow corrupt officers to extort their hard earned money. They tell our farmers to work for nothing.
• They (people) will accept a man accused of murder as the president of the BJP, but they will never ever accept the same in the Congress Party because they hold Congress in the highest regard.
• What does Modi actually mean? The name Modi symbolises the collusion between India's biggest crony capitalists and the prime minister of India.
• They tell Muslims of India who never went to Pakistan and supported this great nation that you don't belong here. They tell the Tamils to change their beautiful language, they tell people of north-east we don't like what you eat, tell women dress properly.
• The PM diverts our attention and jumps from one event to another from Gabbar Singh Tax to yoga in Parliament but never talks about the issues. But, the Congress cannot be stopped from seeking the truth and justice.
• I don't say it with happiness but the last government we formed did not stand up to the expectations of the people. The people of the country were let down by us.
• Will India live a lie or will India have the courage to face the truth? Today, the corrupt and powerful control the conversation in the country.
