Modi, Amit Shah traitors, sold country to industrialists: Rahul Gandhi

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi Wednesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), calling them “traitors” and accusing them of attacking the Constitution, weakening reservation and “selling” the country’s economic system to a handful of industrialists.

Holding up a copy of the Constitution while addressing the Bahujan Swabhiman Sammelan in Amethi, he repeatedly invoked B R Ambedkar, Veera Pasi, Mahatma Gandhi, Guru Nanak, Kabir and Narayan Guru, asserting that the Constitution embodied the collective voice and ideology of social justice icons across the country.

“When you go home and RSS workers speak about Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, tell them openly that your Prime Minister is a traitor, your Home Minister is a traitor and your organisation is a traitor. You have sold India and attacked our Constitution,” he said.

“Narendra Modi ne Hindustan ka pura ka pura dhan aapki jeb se nikal liya. Hindustan ka arthik system Adani aur Ambani ko pakda diya hai (Narendra Modi has taken away the country’s wealth from your pockets. He has handed over India’s economic system to Adani and Ambani,” Gandhi alleged.
