New Delhi--Rahul Gandhi today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying change cannot be brought by merely making promises and alleged that poor were being deprived of their rights in the name of development.
Putting his weight behind sanitation workers from civic bodies agitating for payment of salary dues at Jantar Mantar here, the Congress Vice President sought to link their demands with the “honour” of the poor and said he would stand by them for any cause to put up a united fight.
“This is not a fight for Delhi’s cleanliness, a fight for the country’s cleanliness. This is a fight for your honour. I wanted to bring some of my strength amongst you…. Together we will show what your strength is,” he said, offering his unstinted support for the oppressed sections of society.
Attacking the Prime Minister and Delhi CM, he said, “Modiji and Kejriwal think that after merely making promises they can bring about a change. No change can be brought by making promises. A change can be brought only after standing here and exerting pressure.”
Addressing the safai karamcharis for the second time in six days, he said, “You may think I have come to speak for safai karamcharis. These speeches are for the poor farmers, labourers, safai karamcharis and all those weak and oppressed of the entire country.”
