Rahul Gandhi is now addressing the crowd. He says that PM Modi makes big promises, but the reality is that he is giving farmers only Rs 17 per day. PM Modi comes on TV says he doesn't like Rs 500 note and the Rs 1000 note. He wanted to help his industrialist friends to help them turn their black money to white. Notebandi was the biggest scam in the world. PM Modi promised Rs 15 lakh to everybody did anyone get it? For the industrialists, the former BJP state government in Madhya Pradesh waived off  loans worth crores for industrialists, and we had promised that the Congress would waive off loans in MP for farmers and we did not take even 10 days.
