As the general elections draw close, (rumours put the date as close as December this year), Congress President Rahul Gandhi is getting into battle gear.


While Team Rahul has not yet been able to offer something concrete as an alternative to Narendra Modi's promise or an illusion at best, of achche din, his ratings are certainly up.


He has also used every opportunity the government has proferred to criticise it. For instance, the report that there was a 50 per cent rise in deposits in Swiss Banks from India in 2017.


Gandhi tweeted:
"2014, HE said: I will bring back all the "BLACK" money in Swiss Banks & put 15 Lakhs in each Indian bank A/C.

2016, HE said: Demonetisation will cure India of "BLACK" money.

2018, HE says: 50% jump in Swiss Bank deposits by Indians, is "WHITE" money. No "BLACK" in Swiss Banks!"


Referring to the rise in Swiss bank deposits by Indians, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said, "The data that you alluded to will come to us, so how are you assuming that this is black money or this is illegal transaction?"
