Rahul slams Modi for teary act; calls him better actor than Amitabh

On Wednesday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi called Modi a 'far better actor' than Amitabh Bachchan as as he did not need to wear "contact lenses" like the superstar to enact teary scenes before the public.

Gandhi who was addressing public in Saurashtra region of Gujarat said "Modiji has tears in his eyes like he did some days after the demonetisation move, when he cried and announced on the television and media that if black money does not return before December 31 'you can hang Narendra Modi in public'. He will have tears on December 19 but at least two or three times before that."

"He acts better than Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan needs to wear contact lens, Modiji does not need even that," Rahul Gandhi said.

"Modiji and Jaitleyji say it is not their policy to waive farm loans. They will let a farmer die but won't raise the MSP. Come December, when we will form the government, we will do it within 10 days," Rahul added.

"When UPA was in power, cotton price was Rs 1,200 and Narendra Modiji demanded Rs 2,000 from the then central government. Today, in his government, cotton prices have fallen to Rs 800... The situation for groundnut crop is the same," Rahul Gandhi said while touching upon the issue of MSP to farmers.
