Rahul Gandhi on Monday targeted the BJP and Narendra Modi, alleging that they brand migrants from other States as “outsiders” as part of their divisive politics.
He also said they are taking credit for achievements made by the Congress over the years.
Interacting with farmers to gather inputs for the Congress’ Lok Sabha manifesto in Haryana’s Sonepat district, about 70 km from Delhi, Rahul said the BJP believes in vesting power in one person to run the country while Congress is for giving power to the people. “We in Congress believe in giving power to the people,” Rahul said in an apparent dig at Modi and the BJP.
“For us, everyone is an insider. Even an Indian living in the US is an insider.
“For them, a ‘UP wallah’ in Maharashtra is an outsider, a Sikh in Gujarat is an outsider, someone from Haryana in Punjab is an outsider,” he said.
