Chennai, Apr 21:
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Israel before the war broke out in Iran, complying with what he was told by US President Donald Trump.
Addressing an election rally in Tamil 3, targeting the BJP, Gandhi reiterated his allegation that “PM Modi will jump if Trump asks him to do so”.
Further, he alleged that before the war in Iran, suddenly Modi was told to go to Israel, and he took a plane, went there and came back. The reason for such behaviour was simple, “Epstein files and Adani,” he alleged.
The union government had rejected references to PM Modi in the latest Jeffrey Epstein case files, describing it as “little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal that deserves to be dismissed with the utmost contempt”.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that US President Donald Trump openly says that PM Modi picks up the phone when he calls and addresses him as, sir and added: “Imagine the Prime Minister of India calling US President Donald Trump, sir.”
“Similarly, PM Modi expects the chief minister of Tamil Nadu to be submissive to him and address him as “sir”. However, CM Stalin will never address Modi as sir. So PM Modi wishes to have an AIADMK CM in Tamil Nadu so that he would pick up the phone and say, “Yes sir, what can I do for you?”
“The BJP wants to have a government in Tamil Nadu that they can fully control, a chief minister who does exactly what they say,” the Congress leader said.
Slamming the BJP, Rahul said, “No matter what dream they have, they will never ever control people or the government of Tamil Nadu, and we will never allow the BJP to have a government they can control in the state.”
Rahul alleged that in Bihar, Nitish Kumar was removed as chief minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary was installed in his place. Furthermore, the Congress leader alleged that “Nitish Kumar was compromised,” and hence, he did not say a word and silently went to the Rajya Sabha. He alleged Nitish Kumar’s past deeds allowed the BJP to control him completely, and they want to replicate such a Bihar model in Tamil Nadu.
Slamming RSS-BJP, Rahul Gandhi alleged that they believe India should be “one people, one culture, one religion and one language”. He claimed RSS is essentially an “anti-Tamil, anti-Dravidian organisation.”
He said AIADMK had great leaders who defended Tamil people, and the good old AIADMK that served the people of Tamil Nadu does not exist anymore and alleged that the present-day AIADMK was merely a hollow shell.
On April 18, Rqhul Gandhi, in his campaign in TN, had alleged that “America controls the Prime Minister through the Epstein files.” The United States also understands fully the financial relationship between the prime minister and Adani. With these “two instruments,” Trump fully controls Modi and made him sell India to the United States. Elections are to be held for the 234-seat Tamil Nadu Assembly on April 23.
