Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made money “disappear” from Gujarat through “magic” in the last two decades of BJP rule.
Mr. Gandhi’s remarks came after he watched a magic performance during his visit to Harij village where he met members of the notified and denotified tribes. The Congress leader met a former snake charmer who told him that he now made a living by performing magic tricks. Mr. Gandhi then asked him to perform some tricks and the man obliged with a few tricks including producing money from thin air.
After the performance, Mr. Gandhi told the gathering, “....Narendra Modi did magic in Gujarat for 22 years like you did. The difference is that you produced money but Modiji made it disappear.”
He then assured the tribal community that their problems and difficulties will be considered by the party and asked them to send a delegation to the manifesto committee with their concerns.
