Declare Amount of Black Money Came Back after Notes Ban, Rahul Gandhi Asks PM

Black Money, Vice President of Congress Rahul Gandhi addressed the Congress Working Committee convention in Delhi’s Talkatora Stadium. Convention – named the Jan Vedna Sammelan – that started at around 10 am today to discuss matters of Congress’ future course of action for protest against the government’s notes ban decision. Rahul Gandhi said it is a clash between two philosophies. He also questioned PM Modi’s demonetization move and asked him how much black money came back from foreign bank accounts after the currency was banned. “While the honest people stood in a queue, and the corrupt sat at home,”. The Congress Vice President had also accused PM Modi and the BJP of weakening institutional system built over the years.

Here are the highlights of Rahul Gandhi’s speech about Black Money and Note Ban:

• Wherever he goes…whichever state it may be…he creates fear and these people then convert fear to anger. We are quite the opposite. We, in fact, protect the people and encourage them to be fearless.
• Modi Ji said demonetisation is a surgical strike on corruption.
• We told the farmers not to fear anybody…your land is yours…Never have fear…but what did Narendra Modi do? Instill fear in the minds of people…farmers fear that their land will be taken from them.
• We told the farmers not to fear anybody…your land is yours…Never have fear…but what did Narendra Modi do? Instill fear in the minds of people…farmers fear that their land will be taken from them.
• Talking about surgical strikes, let me tell you something – they said after the surgical strike, India’s army is like the Israeli Army. Does that mean they were lesser than the Israeli Army before that? On the other hand, we say that India’s Army was, is, and forever will be better than the Israeli Army.
• Modi ji did a surgical strike on the poor, the farmer, the middle class without consulting the RBI, within a matter of hours, demonetisation was announced. The entire institution of RBI was destroyed in a matter of hours.

Rahul Gandhi Asking Modi About Note Cruises:

• We are a wise country and we sent the British back, we won’t be fooled by you. You tell me can one man run a country alone?
• Think about it, your entire future is in Modi Ji’s hands alone.
• He is fooling the people by saying ‘Make in India’, ‘Skill India’, ‘Digital India’, ‘Swachh Bharat’. He thinks only he is wise and the rest of India is foolish.
• Modi Ji speaks of black money. I ask him where is the black money? How much did you bring back from foreign bank accounts?
• The poor man’s money will go into the pockets of these people —Greebo ka paisa kheencho, Ameero ko seecho.

• UP Elections will be a lot of fun. These people think that they can create fear and rule this country. But let me warn them, the Congress will stop them. We will not only stop them but defeat them.
• He came on TV like Amitabh Bachchan and delivered his demonetisation dialogue. Like a magician, he said “Mitron! Put your hands in your pocket”, people did as he said. Then he said, “The money in your pockets is now just pieces of paper.
• Demonetisation was done just so that the bad loans worth 8 lakh crore, that Modi Ji’s friends are responsible for, can be written off. The rest of India was made to pay for this. Mark my words, this will happen.
