Modi took economy pointers from Manmohan: Rahul Gandhi

At a loss of words to justify former PM Manmohan Singh’s meeting with incumbent PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday evening, Congress party vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said, “Our former PM Manmohan Singh criticised the health of the economy in the morning and by evening Modi took lessons from him.” 

On Wednesday hours after attacking NDA govt, Singh had met Modi  at 7 Race Course Road, a day after his government completed one year in office.

Speaking at an NSUI convention, which was inaugurated by Singh on Wednesday, Rahul also targeted Modi over his foreign trips and criticised the Centre’s apathy towards farmers. “Modi ji says in his speeches that there’s a need to help the poor. He has so far made trips to France, USA, Japan, Mongolia but hasn’t yet gone to a farmer’s home.” 

He accused the BJP of trying to close the internal dialogue process in the entire country and said there was a lack of democracy in the Modi government. “One-man’s will is being followed by the rest,” he said adding, “Be it about farmers, education or clothes – one person knows 

everything.”

He compared the BJP with the Congress and claimed that it is in the DNA of the grand old party to ‘listen to everyone’.
