Bengaluru: Rahul Gandhi's attempt to take swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat" and "Make in India" campaigns turned out into a major embarrassment for him today at a college in Bengaluru where the Congress Vice President was addressing the students.
During a Q and A session at the prestigious Mount Carmel College for women, gandhi asked his audience if the Clean India campaign is a success, a resounding "Yes," came in reply from the audience, all women.
Attacking the Modi government he said, "I hear a lot of talk. Are we serious? Clean your country is a strategic national government programme? Well it's not working, is it?"
The Congress leader was expecting a resounding NO,but he got "It is" in th answer.

Stumped he asked, "You see it working?" Again, he got a louder "Yes" than "No".
He recovered and said: "Ok I don't see Swachh Bharat working very well."
It didn't end here as the Congress MP again asked the student if they thought the Make in India was really working and the students again gave the same reply, making the leader uncomfortable.
He finally stopped asking. "I don't see a vision that the BJP is projecting. So for the Congress...we have to come up with a potential vision for the people of India," he said.
In a sharp attack to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi said, “In the Central government today, there is only one man who takes every single decision. It can't be that he has all the answers to the problems of our country.”
