Congress party president-elect Rahul Gandhi’s questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues unabated. In his series of questions on microblogging site Twitter, the Congress leader on Tuesday posted his 14th question for PM Modi.
The latest one raises the issue of laws meant for Dalits, and questions the silence of PM Modi on Una incident, where four Dalit youth were flogged. A video of the incidence had also gone viral on social media, triggering uproar.
Claiming that the Dalits is Gujarat have not been given any security, Rahul Gandhi tweeted they have been deprived of land, job, healthcare and education. He also said that while several laws had been made for the members of Dalit community, there’s no one to ensure that they get justice.
In his 13th question to PM Modi on Monday, the Gandhi scion had referred to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongman as “maunsaheb”. He asked PM Modi about the “achche din” the latter had promised before 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
His tweet said, “you promised an answerable government, then why did you abandon the issue of Lokpal? You are always silent on GSPC, electricity-metro scam and Shah-Zada, trying to fill the pockets of your friends. The list is long, and an answer is sought from ‘maunsaheb’. For whose good days did you make the government?”
Prior to this, Rahul Gandhi had posted a question on the issue of educational institutions in the country. He had asked PM Modi if the dignity of the institutions were lowered.
The Congress VP took to Twitter, accusing 'Modiji' of not bothering about the future of the youth. "Did you lower the dignity of our educational institutions?" he asked.
He emphasised that 80 per cent of the engineers in the country is unemployed. Companies like Tata Nano does not approach these youth who are desperately seeking jobs.
Rahul further went on blaming the Prime Minister for selling out the education and examination system. He added that the schools and colleges have transformed into businesses.
