Karnal (Haryana), Sept 30: Targeting Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's visit to poll-bound Haryana, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday said that they are like tourists who keep roaming around.
Pradhan also alleged that the Congress leaders are afraid that when the Bharatiya Janata Party comes to power again in the state, the wealth that Rahul's brother-in-law (Robert Vadra) has looted will be exposed.
"Let them campaign for their party, they keep roaming around, they are like tourists. I think they are scared that if BJP comes to power for the third time, the wealth that his brother-in-law has looted from the farmers of Haryana will be exposed.
People of Haryana have faith in PM Modi and Nayab Singh Saini will become CM again," Dharmendra Pradhan said.
Meanwhile, Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked the central government over the Agnipath scheme and said that Agniveers "should not be in misconception" as the government "intends" to "snatch away pensions from Agniveers.
"Normal Jawan will be entitled to pension for all his life... but those with Agniveer tag will not get pension...which means money has been snatched from Agniveer's pocket...it has gone to Adani's pocket. Agniveer has been rolled out to help Adani.
Agniveer's truth is that Narendra Modiji wants to snatch pensions," said the LoP, who led the party's "Vijay Sankalp Yatra" in Ambala.
Gandhi said that the fight was between Congress and BJP in the Haryana elections. "In these elections, the fight is between Congress and BJP. Vote for the Congress party and make them win in the elections," he said.
Haryana will go to the polls on October 5 to elect its 90-member state legislative assembly, with counting set to take place on October 8.
In the 2019 elections, the BJP emerged as the single-largest party, securing 40 seats, while Congress won 30 seats.
