Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi Thursday, speaking in the Lok Sabha, attacked the Modi government over ‘rising food prices’. Rahul reminded Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi of his election promise in 2014 to bring down inflation and cost of vegetables and pulses. Saying that PM Modi’s speeches are always high on rhetoric, Rahul came down heavily on his failure to safeguard the interests of the poor.

“During elections, Modiji had said ‘make me a chowkidar’ (watchman). Now, there is theft of dal under the very nose of the chowkidar. But the chowkidar has not uttered a word. He is mum. … Now he has become a big person. Leave that job of chowkidari to the Congress,” Gandhi said.

The Congress vice-president listed down how the cost of tomatoes, urad and tur dal have shot up over 100 per cent since the time NDA came in to power.

“You may make as many hollow promises as you want, but give us a date by when the prices of daal will come down,”
Rahul said.

Here is how Twitter reacted to his speech:

# “This afternoon I listened to the speech of Rahul Gandhi. I must say he is a great stress buster! Somehow his very sight sets me laughing.”
