Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday sought to put Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the same bracket, accusing both of helping the rich instead of the poor, while hankering for power. Addressing an election rally at Serampore in Hooghly district, Gandhi said that Modi "claims to be a 'deshbhakt' (patriot), but is selling off the country". "While CM Mamata Banerjee is helping the rich, and not the poor in West Bengal, Modi is doing the same across country... They both want power but don't work for people," he said. Gandhi said, Narendra Modi is corrupt, but TMC is no less involved in corruption. He added that ,Mamata ji had promised in 2021 from West Bengal that employment would be provided to 5 lakh people. But the truth is that 84 lakh youths here have applied for unemployment allowance.
नरेंद्र मोदी भ्रष्ट हैं, लेकिन TMC भी भ्रष्टाचार करने में कम नहीं है।
