Modi taking undue credit of common man’s toil: Rahul
14 Dec 2012 4:18 PM IST
In an apparent attempt to invoke the Gujarati pride in the poll bound state, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi took potshots at Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, saying the BJP stalwart is pursuing his personal agenda at the expense of the common people.
‘Here you toil hard and sweat it out... but it is only one man who takes the credit in Gujarat...What is your strength?.. Strength of Gujarati small businessman who run the economy of Belgium... small artisans of Gujarat...you run Belgium... but your voice is not heard here,’ Gandhi said in a veiled attack on Modi.
He was addressing an election rally in diamond polishing hub of Palanpur.
The voting for the final phase in Gujarat will be held on 17 December. Reiterating his earlier charge that the voice of common man is ‘gagged’ in Gujarat, the Amethi MP said, ‘In Gujarat, the voice of the poor and the weak is not heard. Only one man’s voice can be heard...and there are two or three corporates who are heard’.
