I spoke about the Vyapam scam.
Mr. Gandhi, who also has a long history of going into prolonged hiding (read foreign nations) during a pressing event in India like a vote in the Parliament or during the Nirbhaya rape/murder case, also chided Modi for hobnobbing with industrialists and CEOs of worldwide companies like the FaceBook and Apple while ignoring the plights of the farmers.
Rahul said the UPA Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had waived the loans of 20000 farmers but Narendra Modi had no concern about the farmer’s suicide.
“Modi ji went around the world”.
“I have never seen a photograph in which Mr. Modi is seen with a farmer, a labourer or an unemployed young man”, he informed (Same source as above). “Modi promised to bring back black money stashed overseas and deposit Rs 15 lakh in everybody’s account. The people who are suffering are the Indian people”.
The Congress has joined hands with the RJD and JD (U) in Bihar.
