BJP copied Congress' election manifesto: Rahul

BJP copied Congress' election manifesto: Rahul

 Rahul Gandhi today accused
BJP of copying Congress' election manifesto and asked the
opposition party to elaborate on its promises to curb
corruption.
"Congress started work on poll manifesto six months back
and we went to poor, farmers and labourers before drafting our
manifesto to know about their problems and issues and
incorporated their suggestions in the manifesto, but what BJP
did is they removed Congress symbol and pasted their symbol on
our manifesto," Gandhi said.
"We want to associate people but BJP wants to run
government of big businessmen. This is the difference between
Congress and BJP," he said, addressing a public meeting here.
"Congress wants to give the nation right of health. Our
(former) government in Rajasthan took this initiative and now
we want to introduce at the national level if our government
is formed. We have also made promises with regard to old age
pension, right to roof, among other," he said.
Gandhi said that BJP has made promises for such works
which have already been started by Congress government.
"They talk about one rank one pension in defence forces
but Congress has already done it. Congress has started work on
an industrial corridor and BJP says that its government if
formed would start work for that," he said.
Gandhi said that BJP in its manifesto mentioned that it
would take step against corruption, but what step will be
taken is not cleared.
"They talk about corruption, but when their leader goes
to Karnataka, he sits with the most corrupt chief minister who
has been to jail on corruption charges. He can not see mining
mafia in Chhattisgarh, can not see corruption in Madhya
Pradesh," Gandhi said, targeting Narendra Modi.
He alleged that the UPA government introduced Lokpal
bill, but BJP opposed it.
"UPA government empowered people with Right to
Information which brought out corruption before people from
the power chambers of chief minister or bureaucrats," Gandhi
said, addressing the meeting in support of the party candidate
from Jhunjhunu Rajbala Ola.
Senior party leader Kumari Selja, PCC President Sachin
Pilot, former PCC chief Chandrabhan, former Rajasthan
ministers Virendra Beniwal and Brijendra Ola were present in
the meeting.
