Modi government looted India more in nine years than Britishers did in 250 years, says Kejriwal
Kejriwal on Sunday alleged the amount of «loot» by the Narendra Modi government in the last nine years surpassed the loot of India committed by Britishers in 250 years during their rule. Addressing a public rally at Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh, where Assembly elections are due by this year-end, Kejriwal also targeted the Congress for «looting» the country over 75 years. He appealed to people to vote Aam Aadmi Party to power to rid Chhattisgarh of corruption.
«Modi ji became angry at me saying I am distributing 'revdis' (welfare sops) in Delhi. Yes, Modi ji I am distributing. But your people are looting revdis and taking it to their homes...Why are you worried when I am putting revdi in the hands of poor?» Kejriwal asked.
He alleged the prices of essential commodities are touching the sky. «Vegetables, milk, flour everything became costly. Have you (people) ever thought about why prices are rising? Modi ji has slapped so much tax which was unprecedented after independence.
Modi ji has not even spared tea, coffee, milk, oil etc..,» Kejriwal claimed. He said even the British didn't impose taxes on milk and other essentials (during their rule in India). We have never seen tax on food items in 75 years after independence, the AAP leader claimed.
«Whom he (PM Modi) is giving after collecting so much tax? He has 'friends'… Modi ji waived off Rs 11 lakh crore worth of debt of his friends. Modi ji, you are collecting tax on milk and buttermilk and openly giving the entire money to your friends. »The Modi government has looted so much in nine years that even Britishers did not loot in 250 years.
