VIDEO | PM Modi Only Talks About 'Mann Ki Baat' And Not Kaam Ki Baat: Rahul Gandhi

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks of his 'Mann ki Baat' and not 'kaam ki baat' - which is to give jobs and control price rise.

Gandhi while addressing the same during a rally in Srinagar on Monday, said, "You must have seen... Narendra Modi was said to have a '56-inch chest' before Lok Sabha polls. But have you seen him these days? The mood has changed. Earlier, the INDIA alliance and Congress party have changed the psychology of Narendra Modi." 

Accusing PM Modi and the BJP of dividing the nation, Gandhi added, "In the past 10 years, wherever PM Modi and the BJP go, they spread hatred. They make brothers fight each other, religions fight each other."  

Gandhi addressed the first major gathering in the Valley for the party in 37 years which marked a "new dawn" for the Congress , a party leader said. 

The rally was organised at Zainakote on the outskirts of the city by Pradesh Congress Committee president and former minister Tariq Hamid Karra who is contesting from the Central-Shalteng assembly segment. 

"The historic rally is the first major gathering for the party in Srinagar in the past three decades – a new dawn for the Congress in Kashmir," the party leader said. 

Thousands of enthusiastic Congress workers and supporters including a sizable number of women greeted Gandhi with high-pitch sloganeering as he reached the venue. 

"This event marks a historic moment, the first-of-its-kind in Srinagar since 1987. Let us make our voices heard and our presence felt," Karra, a former member of parliament, said. 

He emphasised Gandhi's commitment to Kashmir, highlighting his "fearless advocacy" for the region. 

" Rahul Gandhi has shown that he is a true leader, focused on uplifting the backward and marginalised communities. We want him to lead our country, to bring about the change we so desperately need," the Congress leader said. 

He accused the BJP of dividing the country on the basis of religion and urged people to stand against them. 

"Today, we stand united against forces dividing our country on the basis of religion. The BJP 's agenda is clear, but we will not be swayed. We will respond with our votes, and I urge you to vote for the Congress ," he said.
