Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate nominee Narendra Modi for "snatching" land from farmers for the Nano car factory in Gujarat and generating employment "at the cost" of farmers in the state.
"Modi has snatched 3,000 acres of land from farmers for Nano car factory. It is a naked truth that 3,000 farmers made to suffer for (creating) 2,000 employment opportunities in Gujarat. Modi has given a subsidy of Rs 40,000 to each Nano car... Is it called development? Rahul said while addressing a rally at postal ground here.
He was canvassing for party nominees Shivajirao Moghe and Sanjay Deotale who are in the fray from Yavatmal-Washim and Chandrapur-Arni Lok Sabha seats, respectively.
Indian Youth Congress president Rajiv Satav, believed to be the close confidant of Rahul, is contesting from Hingoli.
However, during his speech Rahul did not mention Satav.
