Rahul Gandhi Criticizes PM Modi and Kejriwal, Claims No Difference Between Their Promises

Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi addressed an election rally on Monday in Seelampur for the Delhi Assembly polls, at the "Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Constitution" event.

While addressing the people, he attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for making false promises.

Rahul Gandhi said: "Just like PM Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal also makes false promises. PM Modi and Kejriwal promised to reduce inflation, but inflation continues to rise. The poor are becoming poorer, and the rich are becoming richer. Kejriwal came and said he would clean Delhi, eradicate corruption, and make Delhi like Paris. But now the situation is such that there is severe pollution, people are getting sick, and they cannot even go outside. Like PM Modi, Kejriwal also makes false promises. There is no difference between the two."

He further added, "When I talk about caste-based census, neither PM Modi nor Kejriwal say anything. Because both want to ensure that backward classes, Dalits, tribals, and minorities don't get their fair share in governance and resources. I have told PM Narendra Modi that whether he does it or not, the day Congress forms the government, we will extend the reservation limit beyond 50 per cent. We will pass the proposal for caste-based census in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Tell Kejriwal to declare before the nation that they will increase the reservation limit and conduct a caste-based census. Once Congress forms the government in Delhi, we will conduct a caste-based census."

Rahul Gandhi further said: "There is an ideological battle going on in the country. On one side are those who, no matter what happens, will keep defending the Constitution. The Constitution clearly states that India belongs to every Indian."

He said, "As long as I live, you can take it in writing -- if any Indian is attacked, regardless of religion -- Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Christian, or any caste -- Dalit or backward -- I, Rahul Gandhi, will be there to protect them."

Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP, saying: "The BJP and RSS are working to destroy the Constitution. They spread hatred and try to pit one brother against another. We travelled 4,000 km from Kashmir to Kanyakumari to protect the Constitution."
