PM Modi got crores in kickbacks as Gujarat Chief Minister: Rahul Gandhi
‘Sahara paid off Narendra Modi 9 times in 6 months from 2013’: Rahul
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today levelled personal corruption charges against Prime Minsiter Nrendra Modi at a public rally in Mehsana in Gujarat.
Rahul alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi received crores in kickbacks when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Speaking at a public rally in Gujarat, which will vote for a new government in 2017, Mr Gandhi reeled off a set of figures to allege that Income Tax raids had revealed that the “Sahara group paid off Narendra Modiji nine times in six months” starting 2013. He also said that computer records from a Birla Group official during raids referred to bribes to “Gujarat CM”.
“The records are with the IT Department for the last two and a half years yet no action has been taken,” Mr Gandhi said, also demanding, “We want an independent inquiry… We want you to come forward and tell the country yourself.”
