Modi's recent statements show he is 'cracking under pressure' claims Rahul Gandhi

INC President took on Twitter and said that Modi is right to be nervous about the election results.

New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent statements and interviews show that he is "cracking under pressure". INC President took on Twitter and said that Modi is right to be nervous about the election results. "Dear Mr Modi, your recent statements, interviews and videos are giving India the distinct feeling that you're cracking under pressure. You are, however, certainly right to be nervous about the results," the Congress president said. The Congress, which was decimated in the 2014 general election, is engaged in a bitter fight with the BJP as it seeks to revive its fortunes and dislodge the saffron party from power. Earlier in the day, Rahul attacked Modi over demonetisation and GST implementation, he said the "nationalist Narendra Modi" hurt the Indian economy. Taking a dig, Gandhi claimed the prime minister reads from a teleprompter and this was due to "fear" instilled by Congress workers. "The Congress has made mistakes. I acknowledge that. But our intentions are clean. I didn't make false promise of Rs 15 lakh in bank accounts. I said Rs 3.60 lakh in five years. I won't say I will give you Rs 15 lakh. Kill me, but I won't say it. On the other hand, Kejriwal and Modi have been making one false promise after another," he said. During the rally in Delhi, the Congress president said if his party is elected to power, it will implement the minimum income guarantee NYAY scheme which will increase the spending capacity of people and boost the economy.
