“Mr. Rahul Gandhi is talking irrelevant to stay relevant is something that we all know”. Rahul Gandhi is leading his party to repeated disastrous defeats. Just a week earlier, the Supreme Court said it didn’t see “even smallest material” to substantiate the charge.
Pointing out that nearly all companies keep two sets of accounts, he said this was the first time since India’s independence that the name of any Prime Minister had figured in writing in documents related to bribery.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit his Lok Sabha constituency in Varanasi tomorrow and will interact with almost 20,000 booth-level party workers.
“I urge the EC to take further steps in this regard, call for discussions with all the parties and whatever recommendations come out which are in the interest of the country, which are for the sake of honesty and transparency, this government will implement that”, he added.
He added that all cash is not black money, and all black money is not in cash – suggesting that black money is being hoarded by a few families in India, but demonetisation has affected 90 percent of the people, majority of them being the poor.
Modi’s BJP immediately dismissed the allegation, accusing Gandhi of being “angry” and “desperate” after his party suffered successive poll defeats recently.

All cash is not black money and all black money is not in cash. The Congress vice-president accused the Prime Minister of accepting over Rs50 crore from business houses ahead of 2014 General Elections. He also said that the nation is now undergoing a cleaning progress under the notes ban move.
Modi on Thursday mocked him, asking where was the “earthquake” the Congress leader had threatened. “That clearly shows that the people of the country stand with Prime Minister Modi for this change, to make this country corruption free, black money free and Congress free”.
His cavalcade will then leave for DLW Ground where the Prime Minister is schedule to address 35,000 booth-level BJP workers.
The rally was attended by farmers and Congress workers in the northern Gujarat town that has been a Congress stronghold.
