Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on the second day of his Navsarjan Yatra in poll-bound Gujarat, will address rallies and interact with citizens in Gandhinagar, Aravalli, Mahisagar, and Dahod districts on Saturday.
On Friday, Gandhi who started his campaign from Porbandar accepted the national flag, which was reportedly refused by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani due to lack of space. The Congress vice-president also lashed out at the BJP over the Una Dalit flogging incident and the suicide of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula at the University of Hyderabad (UoH).
Addressing a rally in Porbandar, Gandhi hit out at BJP and PM Modi for the benefits that he claimed were given to Tata Motors’s Nano car plant in Sanand. Addressing a gathering of fisherfolk, Rahul said the state government was ready with money for “a few industrialists” but was not willing to spare Rs 300 crore on subsidised diesel and kerosene for fishermen.
He also teased PM Modi who had said “na khaonga, na khaane dunga.” (Will neither be corrupt nor allow corruption). with His new slogan now seems to be “na bolonga, na bolnedunga” (Will neither talk, nor allow to talk). Every year in November the doors of parliament are open for discussion and debates. This year the doors of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha will open after the Gujarat polls. This is because PM Modi doesn’t want to discuss Rafale deal or Jay Shah’s company said Rahul.
Amid thunder applause he said, "I have three questions for PM Modi. “Did he or did he not increase the price of Rafale aircrafts? Why did he take away the contract from the designated company and gave it to a company known to him? And did he follow the due procedure of following the deal through the cabinet?” However, magically one company has earned a huge margin of profits.
Also rahul attacked BJP president Amit shah's son sarcastically, "After this meeting, you can go and ask any businessman in Gujarat if it is possible to convert Rs 50,000 to 80 crore. Everyone out there will tell you this is not possible without corruption. India has only company who can do get these magical numbers and that is Jay Shah’s company. “Shah Zada kha Gaya”.
