Congress president Rahul Gandhi Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of doing "injustice" to the people of the country in the last five years, saying the 'acche din ayenge' slogan has now been replaced by 'chowkidar chor hai'.

He said there will be only one 'Hindustan' where justice will be done when the Congress is voted to power.

During the day, Gandhi addressed election rallies at Jalore, Ajmer and Kota in Rajasthan.

"If rich people are not jailed for not paying off loans then farmers too will not be jailed. If lakhs and crores are given to them then the same will be given to farmers, labourers, tribals, Dalits and small traders. There will be no injustice in Hindustan. The country will not be divided in two Hindustans. There will be one Hindustan where justice will be done," the Congress president said at a rally in Jalore.

"PM Narendra Modi did injustice with people of the country in the last five years. Demonetisation and GST were ways to rob poor, labourers, small traders of their money, NYAY scheme will benefit them," he alleged.

He said the Congress government will listen to people's 'mann ki baat' and run according to them.

"Five years ago, there was a slogan 'acche din ayenge' (good days will come). Now people say 'chowkidar chor hai' (watchman is a thief) everywhere in the country," he said.

Addressing a gathering in Ajmer, Gandhi said, "On one side there is Narendra Modi who speaks lies one after the other wherever he goes and on the other side, there is truth. Depositing Rs 15 lakh in bank accounts, two crore jobs every year, reasonable price for farmers' crops were all lies."
