New Delhi: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of rising prices, saying "the PM talks about everything but price rise".
"Modi government celebrated its second happy birthday a few days back. While addressing the people, he spoke about Make In India, Connect India, Digital India, but he does not talk about price rise. Not once did he talk about pulses, potatoes and tomatoes," said Gandhi in the Lok Sabha.
Rahul Gandhi said that price rise is the most important issue before people and false promises cannot be made on it.
"You can make false claims on Startup India, Make in India, but not on rising prices," he added.
Taking a jibe at BJP's slogan of 'Har Har Modi, Ghar Ghar Modi', Rahul said people now a days are instead chanting "arhar modi, arhar modi, arhar modi".
Gandhi alleged that Modi failing to safeguard the interests of the poor. "You said you wanted to be the people's chowkidaar. It has been left to the Congress to serve as chowkidaar," he said.
