After making 'Arhar Modi' chants in the parliament, Rahul Gandhi has attacked the Prime Minister yet again. This time, however, it is for the bullet trains project. "Modiji promised bullet trains. Their tickets will be not less than Rs 15000. Only Modiji and his suit-boot friends will travel in it," the Congress vice-president said in a party meeting in Lucknow, reminding them of his famous 'suit-jibe' remark during a Parliament debate last year.
"Congress is the one which takes everyone along. Modi starts from the richest person, we from the person at the end of the line," the 46-year-old leader said. The government has planned a bullet train route between Mumbai and Ahmedabad as its pilot project, which is already being criticised by experts and opponents for its high cost. Rahul also spoke about veteran Congress leader Sheila Dikshit, who was made the face of the party campaign in Uttar Pradesh. “We made Sheila Dikshit ji the CM candidate of UP because we want her to fight for women,” said Rahul.
