Not Dharma, PM Seeks Vote On Basis Of Lies: Rahul Gandhi In UP's Varanasi

UP Polls: Rahul Gandhi alleged that PM Modi now doesn't speak on his earlier poll promises of doubling farmers' income and generating jobs for youths.

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of seeking votes on the basis of "lies", and said he now does not talk about his poll promises of doubling farmers' income and generating jobs.

"Hindu religious books nowhere say to speak lies," Mr Gandhi told an election rally here after offering prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, during which he was also joined by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Rahul Gandhi alleged that PM Modi now doesn't speak on his earlier poll promises of doubling farmers' income and generating jobs for youths, whereas there is "no mismatch" in the Congress' words and deeds.

He cited the example of fulfilling poll promises of writing off farmers' loans by the Congress government in Chhattisgarh and also procurement of paddy at the Minimum Support Price of Rs 2,500 a quintal.
