Rahul attacks KCR for supporting GST, demonetisation

Zahirabad: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Good and Services Tax (GST) and demonetisation.
He also slammed Rao for not speaking up on the Rafale issue.
“Your Chief Minister helps him (PM Modi) in the Parliament. He supported Gabbar Singh Tax and demonetisation. Narendra Modi gets help from Telangana and he has a remote control. Our fight is with the BJP and Modi,” Rahul said while addressing a rally in Zahirabad parliamentary seat currently held by Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Bheemrao Baswanthrao.
“Did your CM ever raise the Rafale issue? Did he ever say ‘chowkidar chor hai’? No. It’s a partnership, TRS and their MPs help Narendra Modi. Fight is against Modi and BJP only Congress is fighting not TRS, whole country knows,” he added.
Further cornering Chandrashekahar Rao, Rahul said, “There is a drama going on. CM speaks against PM and vice versa. CM also praises Congress some time. PM speak against Congress, not TRS in parliament. We need to understand there is a fight between two ideologies, only Congress against them.” Highlighting his poll promise of minimum income guarantee initiative NYAY scheme (Nyuntam Aay Yojana), Congress president said, “We have decided whose income is less than Rs 12,000, we will give them Rs 12,000. It means that Congress party will deposit Rs 72,000 to 5 crore families every year. Modi ji said they will give Rs 15 lakh, he is a liar.”
