Congress president Rahul Gandhi in his last election rally in Himachal Pradesh's Solan on Friday continued his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that his government compelled people to fry pakoras. He also said that PM Modi is "not intelligent".

Reminding the BJP about its promise to set up fruit processing units in Himachal Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi said, "PM Modi came here, promised jobs to two crore youths. He had also promised that his government will increase import duty on Chinese apples so that Himachal apples can get a better deal. You are compelling people to fry pakoras and eat Chinese apples."

PM MODI IS NOT INTELLIGENT: RAHUL GANDHI

Launching a direct attack on PM Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi said that the prime minister was not intelligent. Rahul Gandhi said that PM Modi's interviews were scripted and those interviewed him asked irrelevant questions like whether he likes to eat mangoes.

Rahul Gandhi said that PM Modi lied to win the 2014 Lok Sabha election. He said that PM Modi did not talk about corruption, farmers and unemployment in his interviews and speeches.

"PM Modi's intelligence can be gauged from the fact that he talked about the radars that are not able to detect planes when they fly in clouds. In the interviews, PM Modi is asked about digital cameras, radars, mangoes but not about unemployment which is the biggest problem. Modi says he used to eat mangoes by climbing on mango trees. He also chopped the sleeves of his kurta as it did not fit in a suitcase. It seems PM has no other topic to discuss," Rahul Gandhi said.

Escalating his attack on PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi said that demonetisation was one of the biggest mistakes committed by the prime minister.

Rahul Gandhi said, "PM Modi has been the prime minister last five years but he is not aware that he has made any mistake. Demonetisation was one of the biggest mistakes committed by PM Modi which spoiled the economy. PM Modi had locked the entire cabinet at race course before announcing demonetisation. Gabbar Singh Tax further aggravated the situation. Both demonetisation and GST snatched the hard earned money from the common man," Rahul Gandhi said.
