Congress president Rahul Gandhi told a rally at Phoolbagh on Wednesday that while his party delivered on promises made in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi “does not know how to speak the truth.” Speaking in Gwalior three days after Mr. Modi addressed a BJP rally where he attacked Mr. Gandhi’s “ naamdar ” family, Mr. Gandhi hit out at the Prime Minister for remaining silent on his 2014 poll promises. He said the Kamal Nath government had waived off loans of lakhs of farmers, including of two relatives of former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
He added that while youth were facing unemployment and farmers being forced to commit suicide, Mr. Modi was “doing his mann ki baat. ”
