'Mock me all you want, Modiji, but answer people's questions about your corruption,' says Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi today saying that he "doesn't mind being ridiculed as long as the PM answers citizens' questions" about his alleged corruption , and takes responsibility for "attacking the poor" with demonetisation "In Gujarat yesterday, I asked him two to three questions about his corruption," Rahul said, referring to his allegation that the PM took "huge payoffs from industrialists" when he was chief minister of Gujarat."He didn't answer any of those questions, instead he ridiculed the questions. Make fun of me all you want, but you have to answer citizens' questions," Rahul said.Earlier today, the PM ridiculed Rahul and his statements about a "political earthquake" and said- without naming the Congress vice president - that his joy "has had no bounds since he learned how to give speeches." Modi also said that in 2009 "it was unclear what was clear in this packet, now it is clear". He was again ridiculing Rahul's intelligence and strategy.Rahul retaliated to that too.He tweeted a picture of a list with Modi's name, with dates and rupee amounts next to it; the reference was to "packets of money'' that he alleges the PM got from industrialists."Modiji why don't you tell us what's in these packets from 2012/2013?"The Congress leader quoted a Ghalib couplet to illustrate Modi's criticism of anyone who questions demonetisation." 'Har ek baat pe kehte ho ke tu kya hai, tumhi kaho ke yeh Andaaz-e-Guftagu kya hai' ", Rahul said, quoting Ghalib.The Congress leader said the scrapping of high-value notes was not a move against corruption and black money, as Modi claims, but against the poor."How many black money holders have been put in jail by Modiji? Not even one; he instead made Modi and Mallya run away," the Congress leader said referring to Lalit Modi and loans defaulter Vijay Mallya He also accused the PM of being callous and unconcerned about the poor."Modiji said thieves are standing in bank lines. I saw these people today, Mr PM. They are not thieves they are the honest poor... 94% of black money is in gold and land; why did PM Modi go only after cash," he asked."I didn't see one rich person in line...one suited-booted person. Demonetisation has been an assault on the poor by Modi," Rahul added.
