Rahul Gandhi claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made some people billionaires. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming the latter betrayed nervousness in his speeches and might even shed tears on stage. He claimed the Prime Minister was scared and was trying to divert attention by raising issues like inheritance tax and redistribution of wealth. Meanwhile, PM Modi blamed Gandhi for the alleged Congress promise of inheritance tax. “You have heard the Prime Minister’s speeches. He is scared. It’s possible that he may shed tears on stage,” Rahul Gandhi said, addressing a public gathering. Mocking PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi said he talks about myriad issues to divert the public’s attention. “Modi tries to divert your attention. Sometimes he talks about China and Pakistan, and sometimes he will make you beat plates and ask you to switch on the torch light of your mobile phones,” Gandhi added. “Modi has only snatched money from poor people. He has made some billionaires. There are 22 people who have wealth equivalent to the 70 crore people of the country. Just one per cent people are controlling 40 per cent of the wealth of the nation,” he added. Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of snatching away the Army jobs from the youth of India by way of the Agniveer scheme. “Narendra Modi snatched the Army jobs from the youth of India. He brought the Agniveer scheme, which is an insult to the Indian Army and soldiers. We will scrap it,” Gandhi said. Meanwhile, addressing an election rally in Bihar, PM Modi claimed the “shehzada of Congress (Rahul Gandhi)” had promised to conduct a survey of the income of every family and would levy inheritance tax.
