Rahul attacks PM over price rise,says new slogan is 'Arhar Modi'

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the spiralling price of essential items and said a new slogan doing the round now is "Arhar Modi".

Rahul slammed Modi over making hollow prices to control price rise and questioned why he did not raise the issue during the celebrations of two years of his government.

Hitting out at Modi, Rahul reminded him of his election promise where he vowed to be 'chowkidaar' of the country. "Aap toh ab bade aadmi ho gaye hai. Chowkidaari Congress ko karne dijiye, ab aap kya chowkidaari karenge (You are now a big name. Let Congress do the work of a watchman)," Rahul said in Lok Sabha.
