A day after describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Panauti (bad omen), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took another jibe at the BJP and said the party-led government at the Centre was being run by “pickpockets”. Mr. Gandhi said the BJP had failed to ensure equitable distribution of wealth during its rule.
Addressing the rallies in Rajasthan’s Dholpur and Bharatpur districts ahead of the Assembly election, Mr. Gandhi said Mr. Modi, his billionaire industrialist friend Gautam Adani and Home Minister Amit Shah were picking people’s pockets in the BJP rule at the Centre.
“Mr. Modi diverts [your] attention, Mr. Adani picks people’s pockets and Mr. Shah wields the lathi,” Mr. Gandhi said, adding that a pickpocket never came alone and there were always three persons involved in the activity.
