BJP targets Rahul for attack on Modi

New Delhi: BJP today targeted Rahul Gandhi for accusing Narendra Modi of favouring few industrialists and raising questions over development model of Gujarat and said the “insulated” Congress Vice President has poor knowledge of ground

Lekhi contended that Rahul was wrong on facts when he accused Modi of giving land to industrialist Gautam Adani at “throwaway” prices as also about non-existence of Lokayukta and RTI Commissioner in Gujarat and unemployment of 27000 crore in the state.

“These errors are shameful but also alarming, because these are the leaders in Congress who are claimants for power at the centre,” she said.

Countering Rahul's allegation that Adani was promoted by Modi in giving land at throwaway prices, the BJP spokesperson alleged that the Congress government had doled out land almost free to GMR for construction of the Delhi airport.

“He should know that Gujarat government gave land at nominal price but Congress gave land to GMR to build the Indira Gandhi airport only for Rs 100.

The actual price of land is Rs 1,63,557 crore. This gross violation of norms and pratices has never been mentioned by the Congress and this is by CAG report,” Lekhi said.
