Narendra Modi selfie leta hai, masti karta hai, iski masti kam karna hai: Rahul Gandhi

AZAMGARH | GHAZIPUR | MAU : Continuing his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi concluded the first leg of his six-day 'Deoria to Delhi Kisan Yatra' with a Khat Sabha at Bhadsar on Ghazipur-Mau Road in Ghazipur district on Sunday evening.

Targeting the PM, he said, "Modi selfie leta hai, masti karta hai, iski masti kam karna hai." Here too, people were seen taking away cots after Rahul finished his address.

The 6th day of Kisan Yatra of Rahul began with a meeting at Sathiaon in Azamgarh district, where SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav had recently inaugurated the renovated sugar mill. It was followed by a road show in the weaver and Muslim-dominated areas like Mubarakpur and several meetings along the route to Mau and Ghazipur. However, his road show in Azamgarh lacked the spirit like Jaunpur show held on Saturday.

Before beginning the road show, he also made a stopover at Aljamiyatul Asharfiya in Azamgarh. He also paid tributes at the statues of Congress leader Kalpanath Rai and BR Ambedkar in Mau.

Almost all speeches of Rahul remained centered on Modi, though he also targeted BSP supremo Mayawati and UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav.

"Haathi sabkuchh kha gaya, apne cycle laya, wo puncture ho gayi, haath lao dekho hum kya karte hain (The elephant consumed everything, you brough bicycle but it got punctured. Bring haath (Congress) and see what we can do)," said Rahul, adding, "We thought that Akhilesh is a nice man, he is young and will do something good. But, it is unfortunate that he failed to deliver."

Modi goes to America, takes selfie with his friend Obama and without returning to India, he goes to China and Japan. But he never takes a selfie with any farmer, Rahul said. "Farmers sell daal at Rs 40/kg, but buy at Rs 200. Ye dekho Modi ka kamal," he said, adding, "Mein us aadmi ko khoj raha hoon jisko Modi ne 15 lakh diya, (I am looking for a man who received Rs 15 lakh from Modi, but failed to find any)," he said.

Interacting with farmers at the Khat Sabha, he continued his attack on Modi. "A bureaucrat told me that Modi is not happy because he realized that he failed to fulfil the promises he had made," Rahul said, adding that people also know that he (Modi) is a flop PM and only makes false promises.

"The only thing Modi (and RSS) is doing sincerely is dividing people on caste and religious lines. Ye logon ko ladana jante hain," he said, adding that Congress believes in unity and togetherness. "It is in our DNA," he said.

In Azamgarh, a few members of Ulema Council were seen holding black flags. But they were dispersed by police before Rahul arrived.
