'Has Modiji Taken Any Action?': Rahul Gandhi Slams BJP In MP Over Video Of Narendra Tomar's Son

Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP government over the alleged corruption in Madhya Pradesh. He also attacked the party over a viral video of Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's son.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at the BJP citing a viral video of Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's son accusing him of "stealing money of farmers, the poor and labourers." Gandhi while showing the video asked if the Narendra Modi-led government had sent the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and the Income Tax department to his premises to probe.

The Congress leader while speaking in Madhya Pradesh's Harda said, "You must have seen the video of (Union Minister Narendra Singh) Tomar's son, who is stealing money of farmers, the poor and labourers without hiding it, without fear and openly on a video call. Has Modiji taken any action? Has ED, CBI, IT department taken action," as reported by news agency PTI.

The Union Minister's son though has claimed that the video is fake and he has also lodged an FIR against unidentified people in this matter.

Gandhi during his address also said that the saffron party in MP works on 50 per cent commission (cuts and kickbacks) and indulges in corruption in everything, as reported by PTI.

While talking about the collapse of the Kamal Nath-led government in 2020, he said, "BJP, in collusion with big industrialists" brought down the government of farmers, labourers and small shop owners after the grand old party started working to waive off the loans of 27 lakh farmers. He added that 18,000 farmers died by suicide under BJP rule due to debt.

He further said that demonetisation was carried out for the benefit of industrialists like (Gautam) Adani, while it affected small shop owners and the common citizens of the country gravely.

He then accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of 'lying openly' about establishing 500 factories in Madhya Pradesh.

He continued his attack on the BJP by mentioning the Sidhi case and said, "Have you seen any BJP leader urinating on an animal? But a BJP leader urinated on the face of a tribal man, shot a video, and made it viral. They are shameless. Their thinking is hidden in this video." 

Gandhi then said, "We have competed against them (BJP) in Karnataka and Himachal (Pradesh), and now we will show them in Madhya Pradesh by securing 150 seats."
