In yet another swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday reminded him of his promise to bring back black money stashed away abroad, and asked if he had brought some of it on his plane while returning from the World Economic Forum meet in Davos.
“Dear PM, Welcome back from SWITZERLAND. Quick reminder about your promise on BLACK MONEY. Youth in India were wondering if you got any back with you in your plane?,” the Congress chief tweeted. In the tweet addressed to the Prime Minister ahead of his speech at WEF, Mr. Gandhi tagged a news report quoting an Oxfam survey that the richest 1% cornered 73% of wealth generated in India in 2017.
Ram Madhav reacts
Reacting to Mr. Gandhi’s charge, BJP leader Ram Madhav said, “That was the case earlier. Under our government, it has been ensured by the Prime Minister that the fruits of economy reaches the last person.” “In India, democracy, demography and dynamism are giving shape to development and destiny. We believe in progress in true sense, when everyone can walk together,” the Prime Minister said in his speech.
