Modi Will Not Be PM After 4 June: Rahul Gandhi In Varanasi

On Tuesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that Narendra Modi will not become the next prime minister, calling it a “guarantee”. While addressing a rally in Varanasi, which is Modi’s parliamentary constituency, Gandhi said the contest here was not between a prime ministerial candidate and Congress nominee Ajay Rai because Modi will not return as PM.

Gandhi said, “I am telling you with a guarantee that after 4 June, Narendra Modi ji will not be the prime minister of this country.” He added, “The contest between the two is intense and in this contest, Ajay Rai may win.”

He added that this fight is between the autorickshaw drivers of Varanasi, Banarasi saree weavers, farmers, labourers and billionaires. The Congress leader claimed that Modi has waived billionaires’ loans worth Rs 16 lakh crore.

He added, “A few days ago, a child from a rich household in Pune killed two persons while driving his Porsche car. The court told that child to write a 300-word essay. I want to ask you that if a scooterist of Banaras or a tempo driver hits someone by mistake, why does the court not make him write a 300-word essay.”

Gandhi said further, “If the son of a poor person hits someone by mistake, then he is told to spend 10 years in jail, the keys (of the vehicle) are taken away and he is handcuffed. This is the India of Narendra Modi, of billionaires.”

In the early hours of May 19, two IT professionals were killed after their motorcycle was hit by a speeding Porsche car allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy in the Kalyani Nagar area in Maharashtra’s Pune.

Gandhi said, “In this (India), the land of the poor is taken away without their permission, loans of billionaires are waived and GST is imposed on the poor. We (Congress) had brought the Land Acquisition Bill but Narendra Modi cancelled it.”

The Congress leader said that if the Congress is voted to power in the Lok Sabha elections, it will protect people’s lands, waive farmers’ loans and simplify the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

He said, “We are going to give lakhs and crores of rupees to the poor people of India. A list of the poor families of India will be made under the Mahalaxmi Yojana. We will deposit Rs 1 lakh every year in the account of a woman from a poor family.”

Attacking the BJP again, Gandhi alleged yet again that if the BJP wins the Lok Sabha polls, it will “destroy” the Constitution. The Congress leader said, “Narendra Modi and his leaders have openly attacked Babasaheb’s Constitution. BJP people say that if they win, they will destroy the Constitution. I want to tell the BJP that this will be the biggest mistake of your life. No power in the world can destroy our Constitution.”

Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav also addressed the rally, along with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In the seventh and final phase of Lok Sabha elections on June 1, voting will be held in Varanasi, along with several other prominent seats.
