Launching his party's Lok Sabha poll campaign in West Bengal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi Saturday trained his guns on both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, charging them with failing to fulfil their promises.
Reiterating his "chowkidar chor hain" barb at Modi, the Congress president said, "Only rich people...have chowkidars outside their houses, farmers and the poor don't have watchmen. He (Modi) is the 'chowkidar' of the corrupt and fugitives such as Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and Vijay Mallya."
In a scathing attack on the TMC-led government in West Bengal, Gandhi said, "What kind of governance she is delivering where only she has the right to speak and nobody else has any say?"
