"Mitron," said Rahul Gandhi in one of the many jibes he took at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in two speeches he made at a day-long meeting of his Congress party, delivering another scathing assessment of the BJP government's notes ban. His parting shot, "The UP elections will be a lot of fun." Rahul Gandhi's closing speech wrapped up a day that saw top Congress leaders attack the Modi government. "Like a magician, he said, 'Mitron put your hands in your pocket.' People did as he said...and then he said, 'the money in your pockets are now just pieces of paper,'" Mr Gandhi said, referring to PM Modi's announcement in November of a ban on 500 and 1000 rupee notes in an address to the nation peppered with the salutation "mitron" or friends.
