We listen to adivasi, farmer… people’s mann ki baat: Rahul Gandhi

TAKING A dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s radio programme Mann ki Baat, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said his party does not believe in just telling its own mann ki baat, “we believe in listening to people”. Addressing a huge rally in the tribal-dominated Dediapada village in Gujarat’s Narmada district, Rahul said: “When our government will be formed here, we will listen to the adivasis, the labourers, farmers and small shopkeepers, and you will know that the power you have, nobody in the country has.”

Rahul said that Modi’s decision to demonetise high value currency notes was taken only to make people realise how powerful the Prime Minister was. “The PM scrapped the currency notes just to make people realise how powerful he is. He wanted to convey that he has the power to make the entire country stand in queues. When people asked questions, he told them to just listen to his Mann ki Baat on ‘Make in India,’ ‘Shining India’ etc,” he said.

Launching Congress’s poll campaign in Gujarat, he said, “The Congress will fight this election with full force and defeat Narendra Modi and the BJP here. The working style of our government will make you realise that it is the collective effort of all the people, which can change Gujarat, not just one person.”
