Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday trained his guns on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the soaring prices of pulse and reminded him of his promises in the run up to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
"When Modi ji ran his campaign to become the Prime Minister, one of his many promises was that there would be an immediate drop in the price of commodities. When dal was at 70 rupees per kilo, he attacked us saying that it was very expensive but now it is 200 rupees and he is conveniently quiet. When he was raising the slogan 'na khaaonga na khaane doonga, I had no idea he was talking about dal!," Rahul said addressing a rally here.
He also attacked Prime Minister Modi over his foreign trips, saying how could the latter solve any national issue when most of the time he was in the air flying to every other country.
