I have a long list of what he promised his ‘mother’: Clean Ganga, Ghats, Ring Road, free WiFi, Bhojpuri Film City,” Rahul Gandhi said.He criticised the central government over the recall of high denomination currency. He said that in UP and Bihar, the PM had promised to help farmers by waiving loans and promising a special package. “Why does he need the state government to do that?
