New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created two Indias, one for the rich and another for the poor. He also claimed that the resources of the country are being given to a few wealthy people. Gandhi’s statements came during the launch of his party’s campaign for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections at the ‘Adivasi Satyagrah rally’ in the tribal area of Dahod. He added that he is confident that Congress will come to power in the state.

He further said that in 2014, Narendra Modi Ji became the prime minister of India and replicated his Gujarat model in the country. 

“Today, two Indias are being created, one India of the rich, a few select people, billionaires, and bureaucrats who have power and money. The second India is of the common people,” Gandhi said. He affirmed that Congress does not want two Indias. 

Attacking the BJP model, he said that resources of people like water, forest, and land which belong to tribals and the poor people are being given to few. He added that the BJP-led government in the state had deprived tribals of their rights. 

“The BJP government will not give you anything but take away everything from you. You (tribals) have to snatch your rights and then only you will get what is yours. Tribal people through their hard work build roads, bridges, buildings, and infrastructure in Gujarat. But what did you get in return? You got nothing. Neither good education nor health service,” he said.

Gandhi then went on to slam Modi over the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. 

“During the pandemic, the prime minister told you to bang pots and pans (from balconies) and flash your mobile lights, when three lakh people died in Gujarat. Ganga river was filled up with dead bodies. Between 50 to 60 lakh people died in the country due to coronavirus,” he said.
