Rahul propagating 'grand stupid thought' on GST, says Modi

MORBI (Gujarat): Continuing his top decibel campaign in poll-bound Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lately attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for calling GST 'Gabbar Singh Tax' and stated those who looted the country may simplest recall to mind dacoits.

In a stinging rebuttal to Gandhi's repeated complaint of the Goods and Services Tax, a key financial reform of the NDA executive, Modi stated a not too long ago emerged "economist" was propagating a "grand stupid thought" by way of suggesting that GST price be capped at 18 in line with cent.

Making a fresh bid for power in his house state, the place the BJP has ruled for over 20 years, Modi also indexed various construction works by way of the federal government on water conservation, agriculture and construction of the Saurashtra region.

Addressing an enormous rally in Morbi town within the region, which goes to polls within the first section on December nine, he accused the Congress of taking credit for minor schemes, like offering hand-pumps, while pronouncing that the BJP rule introduced in primary works like the Narmada venture.

Making a strong attraction to the people to vote for the BJP on this Patidar community stronghold, Modi stated his birthday party will have to no longer be voted out for 100 years.

"Today, some so called smart people, some new economists have emerged who are misleading people," he declared in his speech in Gujarati.

"Those who have looted people throughout their life, they can only remember dacoits," Modi stated in a reply to Gandhi's 'Gabbar Singh Tax' jibe, recalling the enduring villain from the Bollywood blockbuster "Sholay".

He stated Gandhi was propagating a 'grand stupid thought' within the title of GST, telling people that they will slash all tax rates and make it 18 in line with cent.

This manner 18 in line with cent tax on salt and 18 in line with cent tax on luxury vehicles costing Rs five crore, he famous.

"What kind of smartness is this... how has such an economist emerged here. You want to make goods used by the poor like clothes, footwear and food costlier and you want to make cigarettes and liquor cheaper," he stated, ripping into the "anti poor" Congress over its complaint of the tax reform.

The prime minister went on to mention that making cigarettes cheaper manner bringing most cancers in each and every house and asked which rich businessmen the opposition leader sought to profit by way of making liquor cheaper.

He also introduced up Rahul Gandhi's grandmother, the late Indira Gandhi.

Recalling the Macchu dam flood tragedy of 1979 in Morbi, the prime minister stated he had spent one month running within the town after the crisis as an RSS and Jan Sangh employee.

"I remember then prime minister Indira Gandhi had come here and Chitralekha (a local language magazine) had printed her photo with a handkerchief over her nose, trying to avoid the stench, while another photo on the same front page had RSS workers carrying dead bodies," he stated.

"Those who have helped us in times of difficulties should be remembered," he added.

Modi then went on to list how his executive had worked to carry waters from the Narmada to the parched areas of Saurashtra and Kutch.

"The Congress' development model was giving hand-pumps. For the BJP it is the SAUNI scheme (the Narmada water project for Saurashtra region), where we will fill dams of Saurashtra through huge pipelines."

The culture of this parched land, Modi stated, was to offer respect to people who have attempted to do something to provide water.


"The BJP has done many things and it should not be thrown out of power in the state for the next 100 years," Modi stated.


Rahul Gandhi is also in Gujarat lately and day after today and is predicted to deal with a couple of rallies.


Modi had on Monday driven the BJP's campaign in his house state into a top gear by way of addressing 4 back-to-back rallies.


Elections to the 182-member Gujarat Assembly will likely be held in two phases on December nine and 14. The votes will likely be counted on December 18.
