PM Modi ‘remote-controlled’ by big business, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not only "scared" of US President Donald Trump, but was also "remote controlled" by big business. Addressing a rally in Begusarai, Gandhi claimed PM Modi does not listen to the people and "vanishes" after elections. "Narendra Modi gives speeches, comes and makes promises, saying he will do whatever you ask until election day. But after the elections, he neither comes to Bihar nor listens to you. He simply leaves. I say, whatever you want done, get it done now," he said."Our Mahagathbandhan will come to power in Bihar and we will provide the best education to you. I give this personal guarantee to you that the day the INDIA bloc comes to power in the Centre, we will open a university as good as Nalanda University. We will open such a university where students from across the world will come and take admission," he said.

बिहार में महागठबंधन की सरकार हर वर्ग की होगी, इसमें हर नागरिक शामिल होगा। इस सरकार में बिहार की आवाज होगी।

हमने अतिपिछड़ा वर्ग के लिए एक 'स्पेशल मेनिफेस्टो' बनाया है। पहले हमने सबकी बात सुनी, फिर पूरा प्लान तैयार किया। हम ऐसे काम करते हैं।

The Congress leader claimed all the major decisions of the Modi government, like GST and demonetisation, were "aimed at destroying small businesses and benefiting the big ones". He asserted that an university on the lines of Nalanda University would be created to provide the best education for the people of Bihar and foreign students.
