PM Modi couldn’t meet eyes in the parliament when asked about Rafale deal: Rahul Gandhi

“Thanks to your government, living conditions for women in India have gone back not just by 70 years, but 3,000 years,” Rahul Gandhi said.

Sounding the campaign bugle in a poll-bound Rajasthan, Congress President Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally in the state’s capital Jaipur on Saturday. He took a potshot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over women security conditions. Talking about recent cases of atrocities on women, Rahul Gandhi said the conditions of women have degraded many folds.

“Thanks to your government, living conditions for women in India have gone back not just by 70 years, but 3,000 years,” Rahul Gandhi said. However, he further added that not only women but also Modi’s promise to uplift small farmers and businessmen have failed as well.Attacking the Modi govt on Rafale deal, he said Prime Minister couldn’t meet his eyes. “When I raised the issue of Rafale deal and corruption in Parliament, PM Modi did not spare a minute to answer my questions. He could not look me in the eye,” said Gandhi.

Hitting out at the BJP government over ignoring farmers’ plight, Rahul Gandhi said, “In the last two years, Modi Ji’s government has waived off loans worth Rs 2,00,000 crore of 15 businessmen.” “But when I asked for loan waivers for farmers, his response was silence,” Gandhi added.
