PM Modi's Notes Ban Is Economic Robbery, Says Rahul Gandhi In Uttarakhand

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally today in Uttarakhand's Almora. He targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over demonetisation.

Here are the highlights of his speech:
 

• Congress party wants to obliterate corruption from India
• Congress will support any step against corruption
• But notes ban wasn't against black money or corruption, it was economic robbery
• PM Modi hasn't listened to the farmers. But he has forgiven 1.40 lakh crore in loans to 15 rich people but not farmers.
• Speaking about labourers in Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said they dig holes. They made fun of labourers. Modi ji India's labourers don't dig holes, they build India.
• You have divided India into two halves. On one side, India's super rich - 50 families, on the other side the 99% of India, including the poor, the honest, hard-working people.
• Under NDA, 1 percent of Indians have 60 percent of the wealth
• 99 percent Indians don't have black money
• 94 percent of the black money is in Swiss Bank accounts, gold and land
• Just 6 percent of black money is in cash
• I don't know why PM Modi has made this 6 percent black money his target, not the 94 percent
• I'll tell you why he took aim at the poor people
• He had said I'll put 15 lakhs in every account
• You gave Vijay Mallya 1,200 crore ki toffee
• You could not give to Uttarakhand
• This is suit boot ki Sarkar
• They say notes ban is a surgical strike on corruption
• But no, this is firebombing on India's poor
• Don't say murdabad, they do that, we don't. This is Gandhi ji's party
• More people were killed in firebombing during WWII than in Hiroshima
• I'll tell you why they introduced notes ban
• There is some 8 lakh crore in unpaid loans today by rich people
• When farmers don't pay loans, you take away their land, houses
• But when super rich don't pay loans, you call them defaulters and their debt Non Performing Asset
• You restructure their loans but don't recover it
• With your money, Modi ji wants to forgive this 8 lakh crore in loans
• Take from the poor, give to the rich
• And he wants your money to stay in the banks for as long as possible
