Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that the Prime Minister seems to be speaking on the same issues as the Congress. He seems to be suffering from memory loss, said Rahul Gandhi.
“My sister (Priyanka Gandhi) told me that these days the Prime Minister is speaking about the same issue that I have been raising,” Gandhi said addressing a mammoth rally in the Amravati district of poll-bound Maharashtra.
“In the Parliament, I spoke… I told him that the caste census would be done and a 50 percent cap on reservations would be removed (when the Congress-led I.N.D.I.A. comes to power)… however, (now) in the election rallies, he is saying that I am against reservations… very soon, he would say that I am against caste census,” said Gandhi.
“He is suffering from memory loss like the United States President,’’ Gandhi said recalling the incident when Joe Biden referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Modi is against caste census. If not, they would have done it 5 to 7 years ago,” he said.
On accusations by the BJP and Modi that he was displaying a blank Constitution before the public, Gandhi said, “Constitution is empty only for RSS workers and BJP. For us, the constitution is the DNA of the country.”
Gandhi accused Modi and the people of the BJP of silently killing the Constitution in closed rooms. “When Adani, Amit Shah, and BJP members were sitting in a meeting to disrupt the Maharashtra government, the one that you have elected…were they protecting the Constitution? Today, the entire Maharashtra knows that that government was stolen because of Dharavi, as Modi wanted to give Dharavi’s land to their friend Adani,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi said nowhere in the Constitution is it written that governments can be toppled with the “purchase” of MLAs like it was done in Maharashtra and waive off debt to the tune of Rs 16 lakh crore of top businessmen.
