Modi would have sidelined even Vajpayee, says Rahul at Karauli (Rajasthan) rally

Gandhi alleged that 45,000 acres of land has been given to an industrialist for a mere Rs.300 crore. "The land of the poor and the farmers was sold at Re.1 per metre ... For Re.1, you get a toffee here. There, land was sold at Re.1 per metre," he said.


The Congress vice president accused the BJP of copying the Congress manifesto.

"We visited people across the country and spoke with them to know what they want. On the basis of their demands and concerns, we prepared a manifesto, but all BJP did was to copy ours," said Gandhi.

He added the BJP replaced the picture of 'haath' (hand which is Congress party sign) with that of a 'kamal' (lotus which is the BJP sign) on the manifesto cover.

He added most of the promises made in the BJP's manifesto have already been fulfilled by the Congress.
