Rahul also hit out at the ‘Gujarat model' of development, often highlighted by Modi in his campaign, as nothing but “Adani model”.
“Modi gave Rs 45,000 crore worth of land to Adani, which is five times more money than Gujarat's annual budget for health and education. We believe in helping all kinds of people and businessmen. But Modi believes in telling lies and gifting everything to one person after snatching from others.
This is not Gujarat model, this is Adani model of development,” Rahul said.
The Congress vice-president said Modi had stopped referring to the Gujarat model of late after he “exposed” it. “After I unearthed the reality of the Gujarat model, Modi stopped boasting about it. Precious land of farmers was gifted to 45,000 acres of land to Adani at the price of a toffee...How much a toffee is worth? just Rs 1...Adani went with 1000 toffees and got 1000 acres. If you try to buy land with toffees, you will be thrown out,” Rahul said.
“...The real Gujarat model includes lakhs of women who built ‘Amul', those enterprising Gujaratis who went empty- handed to USA and now owns several hotels. It also includes hard-working diamond workers and textile mill owners who built their empire with hard work,” Rahul said.
“Gujarat gave leaders like Mahatma Gandhi who spent his whole life in search of truth. On the other hand, Modi always tries to find lies and speak lies. He cannot sleep if he does not speak five to six lies in a day,” Rahul said.
