Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Sunday said that the clock was already ticking on the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah and that the day is not far when the people of India reclaim the republic.
Speaking at a rally in Goa, Gandhi said the people had seen through the BJP leadership and that no amount of force or money could change their minds.
But in each state, I say Narendra Modi is a vote chor. But to date, there’s no defamation case against me for calling Narendra Modi a vote chor. But if there’s a case, then the whole legal matter will be uncovered. The reality is that, and we have proved it, in MP, Haryana, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Bengal and Assam, they have committed vote theft. Opposition votes are deleted and their own votes are increased.
“There are more than 45 defamation cases against me.
Voters are shifted from one district to another, from one state to another,” he said.
‘Responsibility of Congress to catch vote theft’: Gandhi
“Goa is a paradise, one of the most beautiful states in the country but here your government is stealing your land and selling it to outsiders for crores. First there was the masterplan, they have nixed it. The yatra saw the participation of Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who took part in various stages as the march moved through the state. Other participants included Congress leaders Sachin Pilot and K C Venugopal.
Gandhi said it would be the responsibility of Congress workers to remain alert during elections, defend the Constitution and catch vote theft as it happens. They are selling Goa’s land to their friends, he said, accusing the BJP of turning Goa into their personal piggybank.
