While addressing a rally in Karnataka's Aurad, the Congress chief said that forthcoming Karnataka Assembly polls is a battle between two ideologies- Congress which believes in empowerment and the other is RSS-BJP.

He also questioned the silence of the Prime Minister on "Chhota Modi"(Nirav Modi) scam and BJP chief Amit Shah's son Jay Shah's "dubious deals."
"He answers no questions on the scams perpetrated by his friends," Rahul added.
The Congress supremo also took a jibe at Prime Minister Modi for supporting Yeddyurappa and said, "Prime Minister Modi ironically speaks of anti-corruption from a stage he shares with Yeddyurappa."
Highlighting the achievements of the Congress government ruling in the state said, the Congress chief said that the election is not about the Prime Minister or him, but about the future of Karnataka.
He asserted that the Congress government in the state fulfilled 90 percent of the promises made in the manifesto in the previous assembly election.

"He (Prime Minister Modi) is campaigning in the state but he can't attack us on education because we have provided education right from kindergarten to children. He can't even attack us on the construction of roads, neither can he question us on farmer issues," Rahul said.
The Congress chief, who later addressed another rally Bidar, said that he would never make a personal attack on the Prime Minister, owing to his stature.
"'No matter what he (Prime Minister Modi) says about me, I will never make a personal attack on him as he is the Prime Minister of the country, but I can ask him questions," he added. (ANI)
