On PM's 'sent by God' comment, Rahul Gandhi says 'Modi has been sent to help Adani not poor' | India News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: In yet another sharp retort to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent statement of feeling “sent by God,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi mocked the PM and said, “God sent Modi to help Adani and not the poor.”
He also asserted that the INDIA bloc will “jumpstart” the country’s economy once it assumes power at the Centre.
Gandhi’s reaction came in response to PM Modi’s remark made during an interview, where he expressed a belief in being divinely ordained rather than biologically born.
Earlier, the Congress leader suggested that if the Enforcement Directorate (ED) were to question PM Modi about corruption post-elections, he might attribute his actions to divine intervention.
“Why is PM Modi weaving tales of divine intervention now? Because when the ED questions him about Adani after the elections, he may claim it was ordained by the Almighty,” Gandhi quipped, urging Modi to focus on addressing pressing issues like unemployment instead of delivering lengthy speeches that foster division.
Challenging the Prime Minister to be transparent about his government‘s performance in job creation, Gandhi emphasized the need for practical solutions to tackle the nation’s challenges.
Furthermore, Gandhi outlined the INDIA bloc’s commitment saying INDI alliance government will end the 50 per cent cap on reservation while asserting that the alliance will protect the Constitution with “dil, jaan aur khoon”.
Addressing an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Bansgaon with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Gandhi said, “There is INDIA bloc and the Constitution on one side and those who want to finish the Constitution on the other.”
The INDIA bloc will protect the Constitution with “dil, jaan aur khoon (heart, life and blood)”, he said and added that the alliance will end the 50 per cent cap on reservation while also increasing it.
On Agnipath, Gandhi said the INDIA bloc, once it assumes power, will tear apart the scheme and throw it in the dustbin.
The government rolled out the Agnipath recruitment scheme in June 2022 for short-term induction of personnel with an aim to bring down the age profile of the three armed services. It provides for recruiting youngsters between the age bracket of 17-and-half years and 21 for four years with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years.
