NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday hit out at Rahul Gandhi for his remarks “I saw people lying drunk and dancing on roads of Varanasi during the night” and said the “Yuvraj” of Congress’s “Shahi Parivar” is taking out his frustration on the youth of the holy city. “People who are not in their senses themselves, are calling the youth of Kashi alcoholics,” PM Modi said attacking Rahul without taking his name.
“The youth of Kashi and of Uttar Pradesh are working hard to make it a developed state. Today when UP is changing, the youth of the state are busy writing their bright future, these dynasts are maligning them. The Yuvraj of Congress says the youth of Kashi, the youth of UP are alcoholics. What kind of language is this? They (opposition parties) spent two decades abusing Modi and now they are venting their frustration on devotees of God and the youth of UP,” the Prime Minister said at a rally in Varanasi.
Rahul Gandhi, during his “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra“, had said “I went to Varanasi and I saw people lying drunk on roads. The future of Uttar Pradesh was drunk and dancing on the roads during the night. On the other hand, there is the Ram Mandir where you will see the likes of PM Modi, Ambani, Adani. You will see India’s billionaires there but not a single person from a backward class or the dalit community.”
Rahul Gandhi had also targeted the BJP-ruled Centre over the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ event of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya’s Ram Temple, claiming that the OBCs, Dalits, and Backward Class people, who represent 73per cent of the total population of the country, were nowhere seen during the mega event.
