Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on Friday, targetted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his attack on the grand old party, saying the latter is scared and may even shed tears on stage.
Addressing a public gathering in Karnataka's Vijayapura, the Congress leader said Modi is trying to divert the attention of people through various means.
Mod has been attacking the Congress on a variety of issues in his recent campaign rallies, including with "redistribution of wealth" and "inheritance tax" charges.
“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 said.
Pointing out that there are three or four core issues in India, including poverty, unemployment and price rise, he said the Congress can eliminate unemployment, contain price rise and give people their due share.
“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,” the Congress leader alleged.
Gandhi claimed that in the present scheme of things, there is "no scope" for Dalits, OBCs, tribals, minorities and poor general category people.
The Congress leader also promised the youth that his party would scrap the Agniveer' scheme, which he dubbed as an insult to the Army and soldiers, if it is voted to power.
Gandhi charged Modi with imposing a faulty GST where he introduced five different types of tax, which are hefty.
