Prime Minister Narendra Modi has nothing to say on his government's performance in the last five years and hence keeps talking about what happened in the past, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said Thursday.
Addressing a poll rally here, Gandhi said it is now time to bid goodbye to Modi and the ruling BJP.
The Congress chief's comments follow Modi's constant criticism of the Gandhis during the ongoing Lok Sabha poll campaign.
"He (Modi) cannot talk about (the promises made about) employment, farmers, Rs 15 lakh (to be deposited in bank account of each Indian) and 'achche din' (good days). He can only talk about the past," Gandhi said.
"Modi ji, India chose you as prime minister five years ago. India does not want to understand from you what others did but it wants to know what you did and will do," Gandhi said.
"Congress workers have closed all doors for Narendra Modi. Time has come to bid him goodbye," he said.
Gandhi said Modi should understand that running the country in not one man show, but it's people who are involved in the process.
"You (public) are the owner. In the last five years, Modi has got confused. Narendra Modi ji has started thinking that he runs the country," he said.
Gandhi continued, "Narendra Modi ji has started thinking there is no need of farmers. He told an opposition leader if the Indian farmers dont produce wheat or sugarcane, then he can import these items from other countries.
"Modi ji, Indian farmers, if helped, can challenge the entire world. This is true about our youths also."
