RAGHUNATHGUNJ (WB), Apr 18: Rahul Gandhi today took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, saying both make promises but fail to fulfill them. The Congress Vice President also targeted the Trinamool Congres supremo over corruption in the state in the light of the Sarada scam and the Narada sting operation against her party leaders. "Mamataji had promised to wipe out corruption in the state. But when corruption took place in front of her, she took no action," Gandhi said addressing election rallies in Raghunathgunj and Kandi in Murshidabad district. In fact, the party had gone from Sarada scam to Narada scam, he added. Referring to the sting opera- tion against TMC leaders, he said again no action was taken in Narada against them by her. "During election time now, Mamataji said she will take action but why no action was taken earlier," he asked. Gandhi said Mamata's inabili- ty to keep her promises prompted Congress to fight against her in the Assembly polls. "Five years back Congress had supported TMC as Mamataji promised to bring paribartan (change), usher in development, give employment to the youth and improve law and order. But a day after becoming chief minister, Mamataji had changed and forgot the promises made to Congress and the peo- ple of the state," he said during an election meeting here. "Mamataji had promised to set up factories and provide jobs to the youth who are going to other states. But no factories were set up. So we did not support her. We are fighting to defeat her," he said. He said the prime minister had coined 'Make in India' slo- gan with a promise that the youth will get employment but there were no signs of that. "The people have voted him but no employment was given to the youth. Mamataji also prom- ised to give employment to 70 lakh people but nothing has been done," he said and asked the crowd, "Is there a single per- son who got jobs"? Gandhi also charged that both Modi and Mamata did not do anything for the farmers. Referring to the Congress- Left alliance, Gandhi said, "When our alliance government will come after the election, it will take action against those who indulged in corruption, who were involved in Saradha scam.(PTI) Rahul Gandhi takes on PM, Mamata TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2016 (PAGE 14) DAILY EXCELSIOR, JAMMU REQUIRED 1.
