February 25, 2018 18:45

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over failing education, health facilities in the Bharatiya Janata Party-led states like Gujarat.

Addressing a rally Bijapu, Gandhi said, "While I was campaigning in Gujarat, people there told me that education is a very expensive affair in the state. Major universities and colleges in Gujarat are backed by private industrialists."

Mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's various initiatives, Gandhi said, "Prime Minister Modi started Make in India, sit down India, stand up India, see right India but every product in the market is Make in China."

Further attacking Prime Minister Modi-led government, Gandhi said that he did not receive any answers in connection with waiving the loan of the farmers.

"I met Narendra Modi and asked him to waive the loan of the poor farmers just like he waived the loans of the businessmen. Modiji did not answer my question," the Congress chief said at a rally here.

He then applauded state Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for waving off loans worth "Rs. 8000 crores".

"I posed the same question to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The Chief Minister responded that 8,000 crores worth loan can be waived off. He not only replied but also waived the loan," Gandhi added.

Gandhi further said that the Karnataka government provides "subsidised education" and free education to girls.

He further alleged that the money is snatched from the pockets of poor farmers and transferred to the sack of "ten businessmen".

He asked the prime minister whether he would waive off the loans of farmers the same way he forgave the loans of ten businessmen. -- ANI
