Bahraich (UP): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi again, asking him to explain if he indulged in corruption or not.
Gandhi challenged him to first reveal what was contained in “10 packets” received from Sahara.
Addressing a rally here, Gandhi said that yesterday in Gujarat he had asked PM Modi, two-three questions regarding corruption.
“Instead of answering my questions he made fun of those questions,” Gandhi said.
“Mock me as much as you want but answer the questions of the youth,” he retorted.
“I will ask the same question again. Did you indulge in corruption or not?” Gandhi also said that the decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes was not meant to be a battle against corruption or black money but was aimed at derailing the country’s poor.
“Modi said thieves are standing in queues (to deposit old currency). I saw 100-200 people outside a bank. They were not thieves; they were the poor people of India.
“I did not see a single rich person in the line. There was not one person in suit-boot,” he said.
“Black money is not with those who are standing in queues, it is with those who travel with you in planes,” Gandhi said.
