Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in the poll-bound Madhya Pradesh on Thursday that Congress leaders, when the party was in power at the Centre, had “used” the country’s poor for tourism for their friends from other countries.
Addressing an election rally in Bundelkhand’s Chhatarpur, Mr. Modi mentioned of a G20 meet held in Khajuraho and alleged that for the Congress the whole country used to “start and end in Delhi”.
“Schemes used to be announced in Delhi. Foreign leaders used to come to Delhi. If Congress leaders ever took their foreign friends out of Delhi, what did they show? These Congress leaders used to take their foreign friends to show the poverty of India. For the leaders of the Congress, who were born with a golden spoon, the poor had become a tourism,” he said.
