Modi caused a flutter on Wednesday when he alleged that Rahul Gandhi, who has consistently attacked the NDA government as being an Adani-Ambani dispensation and «suit-boot ki sarkar», has gone silent on the two business houses as he has received election funds from them. He also reacted to the controversial remarks made by Sam Pitroda and said that Congress was a racist party and these words were in poor taste.
«You must have noticed that for the last five years, the Congress Shehzada (Rahul Gandhi) starts chanting the same thing from sunrise. Since his Rafale issue was grounded, he has started chanting a new slogan for the last five years — that there are five businessmen (who are the only ones gaining from Modi's rule). Then gradually, he moved to Ambani-Adani. But since the elections have been announced, he has stopped abusing Ambani-Adani,» Modi said at a BJP rally in Telangana.
Gandhi has on several occasions alleged that Ambani and Adani groups have received undue favours from the Modi government while other business houses and the common people have suffered economically.
«Shehzada should declare how much money he has picked up from Ambani and Adani in this election. How many sacks of black money has he received? Has money reached Congress in tempos? What deal has been struck? Overnight, you have stopped abusing Ambani-Adani. There is definitely something fishy here. You will have to tell the nation,» Modi said.
