#NoConfidenceMotion: Rahul Gandhi attacks PM Modi over false promises

New Delhi: Speaking on the No-Confidence Motion debate in Parliament, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi made one false promise after another to the youth on jobs and took the nation on a ride by creating excitement and then delivering nothing. 

He said BJP builds up excitement with promises like Rs 15 lakh in every bank account and employment for two crore youths. He said the youth depended on the PM and the reality is only 4 lakh youth got employment as against 2 crore every year as promised by the PM. 

He said the PM snatched the money from the small businessmen and traders and dealt a blow with his demonstration policy. 

The PM has no feelings for the poor, said Rahul Gandhi, adding that the PM said he is the "chowkidar" (security guard) of the nation and yet said nothing against Jay Shah, the son of Amit Shah, the BJP president, on corruption. 

He attacked the PM also over the Rafale jet deal with France and said the government and the Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told lies to the nation on this deal that cost the country heavily. 

Chandrababu Naidu's TDP has brought the no-confidence motion, demanding a special status for Andhra Pradesh.

The motion is supported by the Congress, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
