Media Eye News Bureau: Congress President Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Karnataka as he stated that, “Nirav Modi has indulged in the theft of Rs 22,000 crore, he runs away from the country, but the chowkidar of this country does not even utter a word.”
However PM Modi recently had said that, “I want to make it clear that this government has been taking strict action against financial irregularities and will continue to take strict action. The system will not tolerate loot of public money.”
Gandhi also criticised the PM and said, “PM Modi doesn’t like notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000. There was a crack down on black money. Modi had told the country to stand in line (queues at banks) for the fight against corruption. You would have not seen a single rich person or someone wearing suit-boot in the line. The citizens were outside the bank whereas those involved in making black money were inside the bank. After five months, we realised that the money of farmers (around Rs 22,000 crore) has been pocketed by Nirav Modi.”
