Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing an election rally in Kozhikode on April 16, calling him an instrument of a few rich businessmen in the country.
Mr. Gandhi alleged that Mr. Modi's job was to distract people from the real issues in the country, protect the richest businessmen in India and "forgive their bank loans". "PM Narendra Modi is the instrument of five or six of the biggest, richest businessmen in India," the sitting MP from Wayanad contended and claimed that Mr. Modi has given around ₹16 lakh crores to 20-25 people in the country.
"He does not talk of the issues farmers are facing in the country, the unemployment or the price rise," Mr. Gandhi said while speaking to party supporters, workers and the public at his roadshow from Kodiyathur in this district.
