New Delhi, Jan 20 (UNI) Responding to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'bachao bachao' jibe at the opposition, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the 'cries for help' are ' cries of millions' begging to be freed from his (PM) tyranny and incompetence.
In a post on social media, rahul said, 'Your Highness,The cries for help are the cries of millions of unemployed youth; of farmers in distress; of oppressed Dalits & Adivasis; of persecuted minorities; of small businessmen in ruin; begging to be freed from your tyranny & incompetence. In 100 days they will be free.'
Addressing a rally in Dadra and Nagar Haveli’s Silvassa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday targeted the 'mahagathbandhan' (grand alliance) planned by the Opposition, calling it a combine of those he prevented from looting India.
He also took potshots at the TMC's Opposition rally in Kolkata while addressing a public function at Silvassa, the capital of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
"My actions against corruption made some people angry as I prevented them from looting public money. They have formed the 'mahagathbandhan'," Modi said.
He further alleged that the mahagathbandhan was not an alliance against him, but an alliance against “the people of the country.”
Claiming that the Opposition had sought shelter in a place where the saffron party has only ‘one MLA’, Modi said:
“In Bengal, BJP has only one MLA but they are so afraid of us that they are saying ‘bachao’ (save us).”
