Sounding the poll bugle from Patna’s historic Gandhi Maidan on Sunday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi predicted a Congress led alliance government in Delhi and promised minimum income guarantee to all the poor people and waiving the loans of the farmers in the country.
Addressing a mammoth rally organized by the Congress after 28 years in Patna, Rahul declared to fight from front foot with the help of RJD, RLSP, HAM and other allies not only in Lok Sabha polls this year but also in 2020 Bihar assembly election. “We with Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav will fight from front foot and make big score to uproot the present regimes,” he said.
(Rahul went hammer and tongs against the Narendra Modi and the BJP and repeated“Chowkidar chor hai” slogan). “today entire nation knows that chowkidar is chor (thief) who benefitted his few industrialist friends and cheated the common people, poor and farmers.
“To favour his 15-20 friends Modi demonetized Rs 500 and 1000 currency notes and brought Rs 2000 notes. Demonetization is worlds’ biggest scandal. He waived 3.5 lakh crore of rupees of his friends but not of any farmer. He went to foreign countries taking Anil Ambani and got him struck arms deal. Anil Ambani alone had a loan of Rs one lakh crore which was waived,” alleged Rahul.
Rahul also criticized Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and said he too was making false promises like Modi and asked people to vote them out. “All the opposition parties should unite to ensure that neither BJP nor Nitish’s party win a single seat in Bihar,” he said.
The Congress chief was critical about the educational decline in Bihar and said once Nalanda University was world fame and students from across the globe would come here for education but now nothing was happening for its revival. Similarly he said Patna University was a premier institute in the country but lost its glory. “I promise
that with Congress coming to power in Delhi we will declare Patna University as Central University,” he announced amid much applause by the youths.
Others who addressed the rally included Madhya Pradesh CM Kamalnath, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, Sharad Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Jitan Ram Manjhi, Tariq Anwar, Sadanand Singh and Satyanarain Singh of CPI among others.
This was one of the biggest rally at Gandhi Maidan in recent memory and first by Congress after 28 years, the last one was addressed by Rajiv Gandhi in 1990. All the roads led to the maidan since morning and people in group carrying Congress flags were seen moving towards the venue. “This rally and the enthusiasm of them people is clear indication that people have decided for change and the impact of the rally will be seen in the election,” said Bihar Congress president Madan Mohan Jha.
