JAIPUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi, who is the chairperson of the UPA. A day after the Supreme Court ordered IT cases against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to be reopened, Modi alleged that the Gandhi family had been enjoying privileges for four generations and said the government's "win" in the apex court on Tuesday was the "victory of the honest".
"Now I will see how you escape... Look at the courage of a 'chaiwala' who took those running country for four generations to the court's door," Modi said in a reference to his "chaiwala" roots.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing rallies in Sumerpur in Pali district and in Dausa in poll-bound Rajasthan on the last day of campaigning.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court allowed the Income Tax Department to reopen the tax assessment of Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi for 2011-12 in connection with the National Herald case.
The prime minister also used the extradition of Christian Michel James, the alleged middleman in the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland chopper deal during the previous UPA regime, to target the Congress leadership.
"He served politicians and will now disclose secrets Let's see how far this goes," the prime minister said. The entire family is shivering. The 'raazdar' (one who hides secrets) will speak up and they don't know whose name he will disclose It was a matter of thousands of crore so they are in a state of panic, he said.
Their family is everything for Congress. The 125 crore people of the country is our family, he said.
Predicting a win for the BJP, he said people in the desert state were clearly in favour of the party coming back to power. Those singing Raag Darbari in New Delhi will not come to know about the direction of wave flowing, he said.
"The public has decided. Now it is our job to win every booth in Rajasthan. Our mantra should be 'mera polling booth, sabse mazboot'," he said. The results for the December 7 elections will be declared on December 11.
