As electioneering reaches its crescendo, Rahul tears into Modi

“Wherever there is a Congress government, there are jobs... in Karnataka, Assam, Haryana, Maharashtra. Youths of Uttar Pradesh go to Mumbai as jobs are available there.

“But the Shiv Sena, MNS and BJP people thrash them. And here they talk of development,” Gandhi said frantically wooing voters in the last lap of elections in politically-crucial Uttar Pradesh.

“They engineer riots six months before the elections.

They will only make people fight with each other, but won't talk of issues...employment, power, irrigation,” he said.  Referring to the attack on a Mangalore pub by a right-wing group a few years back, Gandhi said on the one hand they (BJP) attack women and on the other, they put up posters of women empowerment.
