Rahul Gandhi shows remote control at Chhattisgarh event to target BJP | Watch

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack at the BJP on September 25 while speaking at a public event in Chhattisgarh.

Slamming the BJP, Gandhi displayed a symbolic remote control and said, BJP also has a remote control but it uses it secretly.

Gandhi said he had pressed a remote control today and several thousand crore rupees went into the accounts of the people of Chhattisgarh.

He said the housing scheme launched during the day covers those persons who were entitled to get assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana but never got it as the Centre failed to provide funds despite repeated reminders from the state government, Gandhi said.

"We (Congress) press a remote control in front of cameras. The BJP does it secretly. When BJP presses a remote control, (industrialist Gautam) Adani gets Mumbai's airport and railway contracts," he alleged.

"There are two remote controls. When we press it, farmers receive money into their accounts through the Nyay Scheme and English medium schools get opened (in Chhattisgarh). But when BJP presses a remote, the public sector gets privatized and jal-jungle-zameen (water, forests and land) goes to Adani," Gandhi claimed.

Gandhi alleged his Lok Sabha membership was cancelled after he questioned PM Modi's relations with Adani.
