Karnataka Assembly Polls: Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that he was abused 91 times, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Monday said the Karnataka Assembly elections are not about the former but the people.
“You (Modi) come to campaign in Karnataka for elections, but do not speak about Karnataka. You speak about yourself. You have to say what you did in Karnataka for the past three years. You also have to speak in your speeches about what you will be doing in the next five years, what will do for youth, education, health and to fight corruption,” said the Congress former chief while addressing a public meeting here in Tumakuru district.
‘This election is not about you,’ said Gandhi.
“This election is not about you, it is about Karnataka’s people and its future. You say Congress abused you 91 times, but you never speak about what you did for Karnataka. In your next speech, you speak about what you did and what you will do in the next five years,” he added.
All about himself, No mention of CM Bommai, Yeddiyurappa: Gandhi
Continuing his dig, the former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said that there is a lack of mention of names of BJP leaders as PM Modi’s speeches are all about him.
He said, “We take the names of all our leaders. You (Modi) come here and don’t even take the name of your Chief Minister (Basavaraj Bommai) and (B S) Yediyurappa
(former CM). Your speeches are all about Narendra Modi.”
(former CM). Your speeches are all about Narendra Modi.”
“Try taking names of Bommai and Yediyurappa too one or two times, they will feel happy,” Gandhi took a swipe at PM Modi.
Earlier on Saturday, Prime Minister was speaking at a rally to campaign for the Assembly polls on May 10. The PM then responded to ‘poisnous snake’ statement made by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
PM Modi accused the Congress of hurling such abuses at him at least 91 times.
