Bhatkal, Apr 27: AICC president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday April 26 targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government for failing to fulfill promises made during 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

After inaugurating Janashirvada rally in Bhatkal on April 26, Rahul said that Modi had promised to deposit Rs 15 lac into every Indian's account but he failed to fulfill it.

He further said, "BJP chief Amit Shah's son Jay Shah's income which was only Rs 50,000 doubled in a short span of time and now he has business worth thousands of crores. Other businessmen Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya are benefitted by PM Modi. Modi who projects himself as the protector of India's pride has failed to talk about these looters.

"Modi who is scared of the media is busy in Mann ki Baat. A BJP leader is the culprit in a rape case but he does not utter a single word. Meantime, there is a call for 'beti bachao' and the BJP has forgotten the latter part ‘Beti Padao’ instead there is an alternate slogan that is 'BJP se Bachao'."

He further said, "Congress is dedicated to protect the rights of Kunubi, Halakki, Gouli and other backward communities in Uttara Kannada. Congress will also help NRIs who have lost jobs in Saudi Arabia and Dubai."

CM Siddaramaiah addressing the gathering said, "Ananth Kumar Hegde who is a Lok Sabha member from Uttara Kannada is not fit to be even a gram panchayat member. He compares Dalits to dogs and says that writers do not have an identity of their parental blood. Amending the Constitution is not his idea but it is the true agenda of the BJP. The BJP says the statement by Hegde on Constitution was his personal opinion but has retained him as the union minister."

Mallikarjuna Kharge, K C Venugopala, R V Deshpande, D K Shiv Kumar, B K Hariprasad, Chandrashekara G C, Salim Ahmed, MLA Mankalu Vaidya and other Congress leaders were present.
