The choice is between Mahatma Gandhi’s India or Godse’s India with love on one hand and hate on the other, Congress president Rahul Gandhi told his party’s booth workers here on Monday, a day after the Lok Sabha elections were announced.
In an all out attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi,Gandhi flayed him on a host of issues such as the Rafale deal, employmentgeneration, national security and alleged agrarian distress.
“You have to decide, you want Gandhi’s India or Godse’sIndia. On the one hand there is love, brotherhood, on the other is hate, fear.Gandhiji was fearless, stayed in jail for years, but spoke with the Britishwith love, while (Veer) Savarkar wrote letters to Britishers apologising andasking to be let off,” he said.
He said Modi keeps talking about Make in India, but hisshirt, shoes and phone, with which he takes selfies, are made in China.
Gandhi said 40 CRPF personnel were killed in the Pulwamaattack carried out by the Jaish-e-Mohammed whose chief Masood Azhar wasreleased from jail by the BJP.
“Two of our prime ministers were martyred. We don’t bowbefore anyone,” he said.
He also urged booth workers to work hard and win all seven seats in Delhi.
