Congress president Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday, urged voters to “to lay their faith” in his party and “Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals” while launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Rafale deal.

While addressing to a meeting at the Circus Ground in Wardha, Maharashtra, Gandhi said, “Modi speaks his mind in ‘Mann Ki Baat’. We want you to listen the thoughts in your mind. Let us know what you expect of us. You tried Modiji, but his vehicle got punctured. Now have faith in us.”

Continuing his attack on the prime minister, Gandhi said, “Modi had said he would deposit Rs 15 lakh in your accounts. Did he do that? Now he invokes Gandhi’s name but is not speaking the truth.”

Speaking on the Rafale controversy, which the Congress president has termed as a “scam”, Gandhi said, “Anil Ambani’s inexperienced company, which has a debt of over Rs 40,000 crore, was favoured in the deal at the cost of the experienced Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. This Rs 40,000 crore is public money which is deposited in our banks … The Modi government refuses to give loan waiver to farmers, we will give you that.”
