'Chowkidar Chor Hai' slogan raised during Rahul Gandhi's rally
Amethi, Apr 22 (UNI): Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who earlier in the day regretted stating 'Chowkidar Chor Hai' against Prime Minister Narendra Modi before the Supreme Court, formulated a new idea of using the same during his election meetings here on Monday, where he just raised the word 'Chowkidar,' while the crowd said 'chor hai'.
"In 2014, there was a slogan of Acche Din Ayenge, but in this elections, it is Chowkidar," Gandhi said, while the crowd added 'Chor Hai'.
Addressing election meetings, first in Barabanki, where Tanuj Punia, son of senior party leader PL Punia is the candidate and later in his own Amethi constituency, Gandhi hit the Modi government over their promise on two crore jobs every year.
"BJP government just fooled the people of the country. But now, Congress is giving those promises, which can be fulfilled. We will fill up 22 lakh government jobs, besides lakh of youths can be given jobs in panchayats," he said at Tiloi in Amethi.
He said the Modi government did not steal money from the people of the country, but the 'Chowkidar' stole mostly from the people of Amethi.
Gandhi said that if his government comes to power, then within three months time, a ' kisan-oriented' budget would be presented, besides a separate budget for the entire country would be brought.
He said that besides the Nyay scheme of Rs 72,000 per year to the poor, the youth will not be required to take permission for business or trade for three years.
"In the Congress regime, farmers will not have to go to jail for not paying their loans and will return double what Modi has snatched from Amethi, " he promised.
He further promised that 150 new factories would be set up in Amethi and the food park took away from Amethi, would be returned.
Earlier, addressing an election meeting at Haidergarh in Barabanki Lok Sabha seat, Gandhi claimed that giving Rs 72,000 to poor per year would not have any such impact on the country's economy.
He said that during the past five years, Modi government has waived loan worth Rs 5.55 lakh crore of just 15 people, while doing nothing for the poor.
"We will give five crore poor Rs 72,000 yearly, which will end poverty," he said, while claiming that Congress did not give any fake promise of giving Rs 15 lakh, but assured just Rs 72,000 per year, which can be done.
Later in the day, Gandhi will address two election meetings - one in Rae Bareli, his mother's constituency and another at Sultanpur, where another senior party leader Sanjay Singh is the Congress candidate.
Gandhi's aunt Maneka Gandhi, is the BJP candidate from Sultanpur.
