Modi more concerned about foreign visits and dresses, says Rahul at Bihar rally

October 8, 2015

Begusarai, Oct 8: Mounting a fresh offensive against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi today alleged he was more concerned about presentation of his foreign visits and his clothes and took a dig, saying he was seen in "16 dresses" during his recent US visit.

rahulReviving his "Suit boot ki Sarkar" barb against the Modi government, Gandhi alleged that the Prime Minister was not bothered about the plight of farmers or the poor in India."During his recent US visit, Modi was seen in 16 dresses on different occasions," the Congress vice president said.

Modi was in the US from 24 to 28september. Taking a swipe at Modi's dresses, he said the Prime Minister is always seen in clothes of different colours and surrounded by bigwigs unlike Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who wears white at all times and "comfortably mingles with people of all hues."

Gandhi said that Modi is always going on world tours, but he had not seen him standing even once with a farmer or an unemployed youth in India. "Has anyone among you seen photos of the Prime Minister mingling with the farmers and labourers in torn clothes?" he asked, adding that Modi has never done it as he thinks that the poor people don't have wisdom.

Gandhi was addressing a series of election rallies in Begusarai and Sheikhpura

districts in poll-bound Bihar. He hit out at the Prime Minister for being surrounded by

corporate bigwigs and bureaucrats in 'suit boot' and never been seen with farmers and labourers. "Modi is not at all concerned with problems of farmersand labourers as he remains surrounded by corporate honchos and bureaucrats in suit boot and listens to these people as if only they are knowledgeable," he said.

The Congress leader also attacked Modi on his promise to bring back blackmoney stashed abroad and deposit Rs 15 to 20 lakh in the bank accounts of every individual. Gandhi said that he was yet to meet a poor person who has received the promised money during 16 months of the NDA government.

"A year ago, Narendra Modiji won the elections and you all are aware of the promises he made. He had made several promises, including of bringing back black money and

depositing Rs 15 lakh in every Indian's bank account, employment for youth hiking minimum support prices for the farmer's produce. "Please tell me, is there any one person out here who has Rs 15 lakh in his account?... he has not fulfilled even one

promise," Gandhi said.

Lucknow, Jun 20: A media body on Saturday described as "an act of intimidation" the filing of an FIR in Uttar Pradesh against a journalist over a report on the impact of the lockdown on a village, saying it was part of an "established pattern" of harassment of independent scribes.

In a statement, the Media Foundation put on record its strong protest over the FIR filed by the Uttar Pradesh government against Supriya Sharma, executive editor of news portal Scroll.in.

The case was filed against Sharma for allegedly misrepresenting facts in a report on the impact of the lockdown in a village adopted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, police sources had said on Thursday.

The FIR against Sharma and the Scroll editor-in-chief is an "an act of intimidation and a case of abuse of process", intended to discourage honest and critical reporting, the Media Foundation said.

The Media Foundation was started in 1979 with the aim of upholding freedom of speech, expression and information.

The FIR against Sharma is only the latest instance of similar coercive actions against professional journalists, part of "an established pattern of harassment and humiliation of independent journalists", it said,

"It is an unacceptable encroachment on press freedom," said the foundation, whose chairperson is veteran journalist Harish Khare.

The Media Foundation called upon the judiciary, and central and state governments to uphold the spirit of freedom of speech and expression as guaranteed in the Constitution.
