Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi speaking on price rise issue in Lok Sabha. Here are highlights:

* I want to remind PM Modi about a promise he made to every Indian, and now has forgotten.

* You can make false claims on Startup India and Make in India, but not on rising prices.

* Not once has the issue of price rise been addressed by the Govt.

* Modi govt celebrated its second birthday, but did not talk about the rise in prices of pulses, tomato and potato.

* There is a difference of Rs 130 in MSP and market price of Toor Dal now. Where are these 100 Rs going? During our (UPA) tenure the difference between the MSP and market price was only Rs 30.

* Modi had said during the election campaign that he didn't want to be PM but a watchman. Today, theft is happening right under his nose.

* Mr PM, you can make as many hollow promises as you want but please give Parliament a date when the prices of essential commodities will come down.
