Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a searing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his notes ban decision, telling a large gathering of the Congress that ‘Acche Din’ will come only when the party returns to power.
Here are highlights of his speech:
— People of the country understand the blood and tears that our leaders have given for this country
— I can name state after state where Congress workers & leaders have sacrificed their sweat and blood
— We do not need to explain what we did or didn’t do for last 70 years. BJP under PM Modi has done in 2.5 years what we couldn’t do
— Today they (BJP) have weakened every institution. 1st time in history Prime Minister of India is being ridiculed
–PM needs to spend sometime with the poor, farmers of the country and ask them why suddenly people are running to villages
— Acche din are only going to come when Congress party is going to come in power in 2019
— 2.5 years ago, PM Modi asked everything to join Swacch Bharat, the drama continued for a few days; then Make in India, Skill India
— Demonetisation is just an excuse, since PM Modi can no longer hide behind Skills India, Make in India and all his other schemes
— PM Modi has broken the backbone of the Indian economy
— Automobiles sale has dropped by 60 per cent. We have gone back 16 years
— Now the country is run by two people – PM Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
