Modi neglected common masses, favoured selected capitalists: Rahul, Akhilesh

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for neglecting the common masses and working for selected capitalists. They asserted that the BJP will be defeated in the Lok Sabha polls with Uttar Pradesh set to deliver unprecedented results in favour of the INDIA alliance.

“In one year, we will make crores of youth millionaires and crores of women millionaires. We are going to give the right to job to all the unemployed youth and graduates of India. The BJP handed over the airports, is selling the railways, given away the defence industry, privatised everything. Everything has been given to 22 billionaires, what did you get? What did the youth of India get. Nothing,” said Mr. Gandhi, addressing a joint rally supporting the Congress’ Jhansi candidate Pradeep Jain and the SP nominee from neighbouring Hamirpur, Ajendra Rajput.

The Congress leader said the Prime Minister promised to make 100 ‘smart cities’ in the country but “did nothing in this direction”.
