Congress stands with ‘satya’; will remove ‘Modi-RSS government’: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said his party stands with “satya” (truth) and vowed to remove the “Narendra Modi-RSS government”.

Addressing the party’s ‘Vote chor gaddi chhod’ rally at the Ramlila Maidan here, he launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission and mentioned the names of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi to allege that they were working for the BJP.

“We will stand with ‘satya’ (truth) and will remove the Narendra Modi-RSS government from power. They have ‘satta’ (power), and they indulge in ‘vote chori’,” the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.

Gandhi claimed that the BJP transferred Rs 10,000 during elections, but the poll panel did not take any action against them. “In this fight between truth and untruth, the Election Commission is working with the BJP government,” he said.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought a new law to give immunity to EC; we will change this law retroactively and act against election commissioners,” Gandhi said.

Asserting that it may take time, but truth will ultimately win, he said, “We’ll work with truth and non-violence to defeat Modi and (Amit) Shah.”
