Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will on Friday attend two rallies in poll bound Maharashtra.
The rallies will be held in Pune and Nashik, ahead of the October 15 Assembly Elections.
While addressing rallies in the state on Wednesday, Rahul had targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP for their silence on China, Pakistan issues and anti-poor and anti-farmer stand.
Speaking at rallies in Raigad and Latur districts, he lashed out at Modi for “sitting on swings” with Chinese President Xi Jingping when Chinese soldiers were invading the Indian borders.
“Not once did he ask the Chinese President during his tour why this had happened…Since the past few days, Pakistan has been attacking our borders…We have never seen anything like this in the country’s history. During (Lok Sabha) campaign, he was claiming if voted to power, they would teach a lesson to China and Pakistan… Why are they quiet now?” Gandhi said.
Challenging Modi’s claims that the Congress did nothing in 60 years in the country, Gandhi said by this, they (BJP) are questioning the works of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, BR Ambedkar and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and the people of the country.
“If the country has reached these heights, it’s not because of any one leader, but the people of this nation,” he said, without naming but referring to Modi’s recent statements.
He criticised Modi’s “one-man” style of functioning and the BJP’s claims that only he could do everything for the country.
Gandhi wondered how Modi would make Maharashtra No 1 after Gujarat when this state (Maharashtra) was already on top in the country on all fronts.
