Why don’t you talk about increasing the income of farmers?
Addressing a public meeting in Pindra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that the people of Uttar Pradesh have to take a big decision about their future. He said that Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister since 2014, earlier every speech of his used to talk about employment, used to say that he would give employment to two crore youth every year. I will double the income of farmers, wipe out black money and put Rs 15 lakh in your account. I ask the question that why does Narendra Modi not talk about two crore jobs in this election, why does he not talk about increasing the income of farmers.
He said that the people of BJP talk about Hindu religion all over the country. Hinduism means truth, truth. These people take votes not in the name of Hindu religion but in the name of lies. Nowhere in our religion is it written that go in front of the people of the country and lie in front of lakhs and crores of people. I have read Ramayana, Mahabharata, I have not read anywhere that you should tell lies by coming to Shiva’s abode in Kashi. Rahul said that I will die, but from this stage I will never lie to you that I will put 15 lakhs in your account.
Vote for political parties on the basis of their work
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi said that on this holy land of Kashi, make Congress candidates win, your region will develop. Identify all political parties and leaders on the basis of their policy and intentions. Vote for political parties on the basis of their work.
