New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra over his 'Moorkh Ka Sardar' remark. Gandhi said that the fact that Modi was using "abusive words" against him proved he had been doing something right.


Taking a dig at Modi, Gandhi said that he would give the same amount of money to the poor that PM Modi gives to Adani.


"Wherever PM Modi comes he abuses me...it's good, I don't care. I have already told you my goal, which is to provide the same amount of money to the poor that PM Modi gives to Adani. I am counting, you give one rupee to Adani, I will give one rupee to the poor..." he said while speaking at a rally in Chhattisgarh's Bemetara district ahead of the second phase of assembly elections on November 17.






On Tuesday, without taking Rahul Gandhi's name, the Prime Minister mocked the Wayanad MP calling him 'Murkhon Ke Sardar' at a rally in the Betul district of poll-bound Madhya Pradesh.


Reiterating his party's demand for a caste census, Gandhi said the day the Other Backward Classes, Dalits and tribals learn about their actual population, the "country will change forever." 


“Modi ji flies in an aircraft worth Rs 12,000 crore and wears new clothes every day. He was elected using the word OBC (on the promise of acting in their interest), and when the time comes to give rights to the OBCs, he says there is no OBC and the poor are the only caste in India.


“We will find out how many OBCs are there. Whether Narendra Modi carries out a caste census or not, the day the Congress comes to power again in Chhattisgarh, a caste survey will start here....the day our government comes to power in Delhi, the first signature will be on the (order directing) caste census,” he added.


It will be a historic decision, the Congress leader said.


“The day the OBCs, Dalits and tribals of this country come to know about their actual population and true strength, this country will change forever. This will be the biggest revolutionary decision after Independence," he added.


Gandhi further alleged that Congress governments waive the loans of farmers, while the BJP-led Union government waives the loans of "big industrialists like Adani."


"Wherever we have a government, be it Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan or Himachal Pradesh, I told all the chief ministers that the Congress government will put into the bank accounts of farmers, labourers, mothers and sisters the same amount of money that the BJP gives to billionaires and big contractors," he said.
