Nanded/Maharashtra: In a poll rally in Maharashtra’s Nanded, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, industrialist Gautam Adani played a role in bringing down the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in the state. He added that Adani got involved in a 2019 political meeting since he is eyeing the Dharavi Development Project, the Times of India reported.
"Your govt was stolen and snatched away. Do you think Narendra Modi was not involved? ... Why was Adani sitting in a political meeting? He only attended the meeting because he wanted Dharavi," TOI quoted Rahul Gandhi.
He was referring to Ajit Pawar's recent comments about a 2019 meeting between undivided NCP and BJP, TOI reported.
On Thursday, Rahul slammed Narendra Modi, saying that the PM thinks that the Constitution of India is “blank” because he has never read it. He said that if the Prime Minister had read the country’s fundamental document, he would have pursued different policies, PTI reported.
Addressing election rallies at Maharashtra’s Nandurbar, Rahul said, "The prime minister says I show a blank Constitution. The Constitution is blank for him because he has never read it in his life. He has no idea what is written in it."
In Nanded, Rahul said that the Constitution does not teach discrimination.
He said, "If Modi had read the Constitution, he would not have behaved the way he does. Modi waives loans of Rs 16 lakh crore of 25 rich people but not those of the poor and farmers," he added.
Gandhi's retort came after Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party claimed that the Congress leader was showing a copy of the Constitution with blank pages inside at his campaign rallies.
