Amethi, Congress Vice President
Rahul Gandhi today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s style of
functioning, saying that he wants complete power in his hands.
“Prime
Ministerji has a different thinking… that he has complete power in his hands…
that the entire country is run by sitting in Delhi and all works are carried
out and the entire development is supervised from Delhi,” Gandhi, who attended
a function to mark 10th anniversary of Indira Gandhi Eye Hospital in Munshiganj
area here, said.
“On the
other hand, my thinking is that people should get benefits of Panchayti Raj,
MNREGA, Right to Information and Right to Food and Education,” said Gandhi who
is on a two-day visit to his constituency.
“This
is the difference between the thinking of those in power and ours. We want to
give power and strengthen women and youths,” he said.
“The
government said that all the MPs select one village each in their respective
constituencies, and I also adopted Jagdishpur but my constituency has 750 other
villages and I think all the 750 villages should be developed as model
villages,” he noted.
Downplaying
US President Barack Obama’s praise for Modi’s efforts to shake up the
“bureaucratic inertia” in India, the Congress Vice President said, “Praises are
a different thing… people should know the truth.”
“I
believe in working… poor should get the benefit,” he added. Earlier, Gandhi
visited the Indira Gandhi Eye Hospital on its 10th anniversary and enquired
about the well-being of the patients undergoing treatment there. “In a
government survey conducted in Uttar Pradesh some time ago, Indira Gandhi Eye
Hospital stood first and it is my aim that this hospital becomes one of the the
best hospitals of the world,” he said.
He said as many as 15 lakh
patients have been examined and two lakhs operated upon in the hospital. Two of
its branches have been opened in Lucknow and Haryana and another will soon be
opened in Gurgaon.
Rahul
also laid the foundation stone of a community college in Munshiganj to be set
up by Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust. (Source- www.newsroompost.com)
