Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday his family has always worked for the people of the Rae Bareli parliamentary constituency, unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi who works in the "interest of Adani and Ambani".
Addressing his first election meeting in the constituency after his nomination, Mr. Gandhi said he was contesting the Lok Sabha election from the seat because his family has deep links with the people here.
Hitting out at the Modi government, he claimed that loans amounting to ₹16 lakh crore, which is equal to 24 years of money allotted under the MGNREGA, have been waived for 22-25 top industrialists.
