Michel will reveal Gandhi family’s secrets: PM Modi

SUMERPUR/DAUSA: Making a final push for the BJP on the last day of campaigning for the state elections on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also used the extradition of Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the Rs 3,600 crore

AgustaWestland

chopper deal during the previous UPA regime, to target the Congress leadership.


Taking on the Gandhi family a day after the Supreme Court ordered IT cases against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to be reopened, Modi said on Wednesday that his government had scored a win thanks to the courage of a “chaiwala”.

Secrets will be told and the “entire family is shivering”, he said, a day after Michel was extradited from Dubai.

Modi, who addressed rallies in

Sumerpur

in Pali district and in Dausa, alleged that the Gandhi family had been enjoying privileges for four generations and said the government’s “win” in the apex court on Tuesday was the “victory of the honest”.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court allowed the Income Tax Department to reopen the tax assessment of Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi for 2011-12 in connection with the National Herald case.

“Now I will see how you escape... Look at the courage of a ‘

chaiwala

’ who took those running country for four generations to the court’s door,” Modi said in Sumerpur in a reference to his “chaiwala” roots. The government, he said, had brought Michel from Dubai.

“He served politicians and will now disclose secrets. Let’s see how far this goes,” the prime minister said.

“The entire family is shivering. The ‘raazdar’ (one who hides secrets) will speak up and they don't know whose name he will disclose. It was a matter of thousands of crore so they are in a state of panic,” he said.

Continuing his attack against the Congress, Modi said in Dausa that the party was a confused party with confused leadership.

Modi said such a confused leadership cannot be good for the party or the country. “They do not have leader, policy and intention,” Modi said.

The Congress, he asserted, had lost the election and was now contemplating who to hold responsible for its defeat.

“The Congress’ ‘gaaje-baaje’ company thought BJP was finished in Rajasthan. Now they are saying they are losing due to infighting and rebel candidates,” he said.
