PM Modi attacks Sonia Gandhi in Rajasthan rally, says 'Madam ran remote control govt'

Jaipur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday attacked UPA chief Sonia Gandhi saying that the latter used to run a remote control government in Rajasthan.

Lashing out at the previous government, he said, "When madam ran the government with remote control, the girl that wasn’t even born was widowed on govt papers, given pensions. The family that didn’t exist was given ration card; the kid that wasn’t even born was given a scholarship in schools."

PM Modi further added, "When we came to power, we began investigations and put a check on corruption. Nearly Rs. 90,000 crore of money which earlier went into the pockets of the corrupt have been saved."

The Prime Minister was speaking at a public gathering in Kota in poll-bound Rajasthan.

Speaking on the 26/11 attack, PM Modi said that his government was looking for an opportunity to bring to justice the perpetrators of the attack, as he expressed solidarity with families of the 166 people who lost their lives during the carnage.

PM Modi was addressing an election rally in Bhilwara on the tenth anniversary of the terror strike when 10 Pakistani terrorists sneaked into Mumbai, killing scores of people in over 60 hours.

Taking a dig at the Congress, he added that it was involved in the game of winning the election in Rajasthan and other states when the terror attack shocked the world ten years back.

Rajasthan goes to the polls on December 7 and the votes will be counted on December 11.
