PM believes in marketing, concentrating powers in his hands:
Rahul
New Delhi, Dec 5 (PTI) Rahul Gandhi today targeted Prime
Minister Narendra Modi saying he believes only in "marketing"
and "symbolism" and concentrating all power in his hands in
the belief that he can run the country alone.
Accusing the NDA government of treating democratic
processes as "useless", the Congress Vice President said
"Today (Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha) Mallikarjun Khargeji
was speaking but the microphone was switched off."
"We never did this kind of thing. Their thinking is that
the democratic process is useless and not required. They
cannot say it outside but this is their thinking," Gandhi
said.
Adressing an alumni meet of Youth Congress, Rahul charged
BJP does not believe in democracy and on the contrary when
there was UPA government at the Centre, leaders of opposition
parties always got a chance to speak in parliament.
He also referred to the protest led by him in Parliament
over the controversial remarks of union minister Niranjan
Jyoti amid a stalemate between the government and the
opposition on the issue.
He said while the programmes of UPA were eaimed at giving
power to the people at large, those of NDA government "snatch
power from people".
"This is the difference. The Prime Minister feels that he
alone can run the country. He deeply believes in this. And
this can never work. Only people of this country will run
it...His thinking is of symbolism. Say anything, market it and
then start saying the next thing. People will react to it,"
Gandhi said as he also sought to pick holes in the Prime
Minister's Sansad Gram Yojana scheme. PTI AMR
