PM Modi says Swachch Bharat, we want sach Bharat: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Stepping up his attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi claimed the government has not been able to keep its promises and said the public wants to see a 'sach Bharat'. ''Modi-ji says he wants to create a Swachch Bharat but we want Sach Bharat. Wherever he goes he lies,'' Gandhi alleged.

He also attacked the government’s flagship ‘Make in India’ programme claiming that it has failed. “Modi Ji gave ‘Make In India’ but most things are ‘Made In China’. Truth is that Modi Ji’s ‘Make In India’ has failed,” Gandhi said.

Gandhi was speaking at a convention organised by JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav in New Delhi. Former prime minister Manmohan Singh, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI MP D Raja were among those in attendance.

Attacking the RSS, Gandhi alleged the saffron arm of the BJP wants to divide India on caste lines. “There are two way of looking at the country, one says this country is mine and the other says I am from this country. This is the difference between us and RSS. RSS says this country is ours, you are not from this land. In Gujarat, Dalits were assaulted and told they are not from this country,” Gandhi said.

He claimed that the RSS is attempting to change the constitution. “In the constitution it was written ‘one man, one vote’. Whatever the constitution guarantees, RSS seeks to destroy it. They want to change the constitution,” he said.

“RSS knows that their views are not going to win elections, so they have embedded their people in every institution… Till the time RSS hasn’t ruled India, they haven’t saluted the flag,” he added.

Gandhi also attacked the central government over the recent farmer deaths. “Jaitley says in the Lok Sabha that waiving farm loans is not this government’s policy. No matter how many farmers die, they don’t care,” he said.
