#LokSabhaElection2019: Rahul Gandhi takes a dig at PM Narendra Modi and CM Mamata Banerjee during Malda rally

Chachal (Malda), Mar 23 (UNI) Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said she only makes promises.

“Like PM Modi lies, Mamata Banerjee only makes promises," Gandhi said while addressing a rally in Malda.

Addressing an election rally here in Malda, Gandhi said, "On one hand Narendra Modi ji lies and on the other hand your Chief Minister keeps on making promises but nothing happens."

He said, "Prime Minister makes tall promises but the Bengal chief minister has also not done much. In the last 5 years, Modi government waived off Rs 3 lakh crore of some 15 influential people in this country. "

“What did Mamata Banerjee do in the last so many years. Mamata-led government never fulfilled her promises made. Mamata Banerjee has done nothing for the state. She just gives long speeches. (On demonatisation) - it's because of the Modi-led government that crores of people are sitting jobless,” Gandhi alleged.

"Everyone knows the state of Bengal...the state is running for just one person. We will form the government in Bengal in the upcoming polls,” he said.

“Did the youth get employment, did the farmers receive any help,” he asked.

The AICC president said, " As soon as our government came to power in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan we waived off farmers loan in just two days.”
