Rahul Gandhi strong attack in Gujarat

Sleep Hungry | Be Hungry for More

Rahul Gandhi in his strongest attack on BJP prime ministerial candidate on his home turf on Tuesday has repeated the past by comparing Modi to Hitler.

Hitting straight on the ideology Mr. Gandhi said that a true leader is one who goes to people, not to give speeches but to listen to people.

Talking about leaders like Gandhiji and Hitler he said -- There are two kind of leaders, one who wants to understand people and has no pride, and others who believed there was no need to learn from the people and claim credit for everything.

Addressing a rally in Balasinor, he said "Taking away farmers' lands without any compensation is chori not chowkidari.

Mr. Gandhi said -- Thousand acres of land were taken without compensation but still there is no employment. He said Gujarat is shining but only for handful of industrialists who are shining like gold but the houses of the poor in Gujarat are still under dark.

Talking about the corruption he alleged BJP for corrupt ministers in cabinet which includes Karnataka ex-chief minister.

Taking a dig on Modi's unity project, the proposed statue of Sardar Patel, Gandhi said building a statue is fine, but people must know atleast 10-12 pages about Mr. Patel before doing it.

They (BJP) say they will erase the Congress, but do they realize who made the Congress. It was Gandhi and Patel together.

He said -- India doesn't need a security guard, people of the nation need their rights and in the same speech he said -- Hum Aapko apne ghar ka Chowkidar banana chahte hein.

Illustrating the benefits of MNREGA and Right to food he said BJP's main problem is Anger.

Somehow I personally feel that talking about programs like right to food, which will help 80 crore people can show a big picture, but money for such programme comes from Middle men pocket.

Even in his own speech he said - 70 crore people falls in a category between the BPL and middle class -- which means money for such programs will come from handful of persons.

So in a way such programs are a good gimmick to woo the voters but on actual grounds it won't serve the purpose.

Overall it was hard-hitting attacks which still lack the content.

Ways are different agenda is same but who will win this battle.

So what's your view on this...?
