BJP hits back after Rahul Gandhi slams Modi govt

| @indiablooms | Aug 05, 2022, at 06:11 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has almost immediately hit back at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi who in his morning press conference Friday took the Modi government head on speaking on issues like unemployment, price rise and Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Hitting back at Rahul, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "A corrupt system was Congress' democracy."

"Now no doors are open for the middlemen in the corridors of power led by Narendra Modi ji," the BJP veteran said and added, "The Congress and its corrupt system are troubled by this. Their woes are visible in the words of Rahul Gandhi."

What did Rahul say in the morning press conference?

1. "All that were created in 70 years have been demolished in just eight years. There is no democracy in Hindustan."

2. "The dictatorship of only four people is running in the country. We want to raise the issues of inflation, unemployment, and divisive politics."

3. "On one hand, we are not allowed to speak in Parliament, on the other we face arrests on the streets while protesting. This is the situation in our country."

4. "Unemployment is highest in India. The inflation is uncontrollable. We are not sure whether the Finance Minister (Nirmala Sitharaman) has these figures or whether she has been instructed to speak whatever she feels like."

5. "They fight with the Gandhi family because we, like crores of people in the country, fight for one ideology. We fight for democracy and communal harmony."
