PM, CM don't work without seeking nod of industrialist friends: Rahul in Chhatisgarh

PAKHANJORE: Launching a tirade in opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged both of them by no means do anything without in quest of permission in their industrialist pals. Days sooner than the first-phase of vote casting in Chhattisgarh on November 12, Gandhi also accused Modi and Singh of creating "false" and "unfulfilled" guarantees.

Speaking at a ballot rally at Pt Shyama Prasad Mukherjee stadium in Pakhanjore town in Kanker district of Chhattisgarh, Gandhi said, "Bastar is rich in natural resources, but local people don't have access to their benefits. The benefits are reaching a few industrialist friends of Modi ji and Chhattisgarh CM."

The Congress has been accusing the Modi government of indulging in crony capitalism now and again, a price which has been vehemently denied by means of the saffron birthday celebration. There used to be no fast reaction from the BJP or the state government on Gandhi's latest allegations.

"In Delhi, Modi ji has 10-15 industrialists friends and similarly Chhattisgarh CM has 10-15 big businessmen friends. Modi ji and Singh never do any work until they take permission from these 10-15 friends," he alleged.

During the Congress-led government at the Centre, it used to take Rs 35,000 crore to run the MNREGA in a year, Gandhi said, while including that the mission changed the lives of a number of other people within the nation.

"Modi ji waived loans of 10-15 industrialists to the tune of Rs 3.50 lakh crore in the past four-and-a-half years. With this huge money, 10 MNREGAs could have been executed," he said.

Gandhi also slammed the top minister over the Rafale deal.

"Modi ji snatched away the contract of Rafale fighter jets from the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and gave it to Anil Ambani," Gandhi said.

The Congress has previous also levelled these accusations, which has been rejected by means of the government as well as by means of the Ambani-led Reliance Group.

Gandhi said 126 Rafale aircraft have been to be purchased as in step with the UPA deal when the price of each and every airplane used to be Rs 526 crore. He alleged the Modi government is purchasing each and every aircraft at Rs 1,600 crore and part of the deal used to be given to Anil Ambani, who formed a company only a few days previous to it.

"Ambani has never made an aircraft and the contract was snatched from HAL and Modi ji gifted Rs 30,000 crore to Ambani," he alleged.

The Congress president also alleged that the top minister had promised that Rs 15 lakh could be deposited in everybody's checking account, while he had also promised to supply employment to two crore other people and waive farm loans.

"But none of these promises were fulfilled," he said.

Gandhi further said jewellers Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi, liquor baron Vijay Mallya and tainted cricket administrator Lalit Modi fled India with the rustic's money worth hundreds of crores.

"Modi ji used to speak against corruption in his every speech, but now he can't. He can't speak a single word on corruption because the chowkidar allowed the theft of Rs 30,000 crore," he said.

He also focused Raman Singh over the alleged chit funds rip-off within the state, the alleged civil provides rip-off and over his son Abhishek Singh allegedly keeping offshore belongings.

Singh has denied these fees previous.

"Chit fund companies committed scam to the tune of Rs 5,000 crore in the state. People lost their hard-earned money. Sixty people lost their lives in this connection, but no action was taken so far by the Raman Singh government, " Gandhi said.

"Who had opened these companies? They were friends of Raman Singh," Gandhi alleged.

Even Pakistan's Prime Minister (Nawaz Sharif) used to be jailed in connection with the Panama scandal, but no action has been taken in opposition to Raman Singh's son, Abhishek Singh, who used to be named in Panama Papers scandal, he said.

On the problem of farmers in Chhattisgarh, Rahul said his birthday celebration would unravel all their problems after coming to energy within the state.

"If we form the government in Chhattisgarh, we will waive the loans of farmers within ten days," he said.

He said that his birthday celebration will stand by means of the farmers thru thick and thin.


"Food processing units will be developed for farmers in each and every district. The unit will also provide employment to rural youths," he added.


"After the Congress government comes to power, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will be developed as agriculture centres of the country like Punjab and Haryana," he said.


Remembering his grandmother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, he said, "Indira Gandhi ji was connected to the tribals and Bengali people settled in Bastar."


"She taught me many things. One of them was that politics should be done for weaker and poor sections of the society. I will stand by those who are weak and being suppressed. I will fight for their rights," he said.
