Sivasagar, February 16 (IANS): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday launched another scathing attack on the RSS, saying it was suppressing the voice of Indian youth across the country. Gandhi, who arrived in Assam on Monday and addressed three meetings at Gohpur, Bihpuria and Titabor, on Tuesday took part at a road show in tea-rich Sivasagar district.
He walked six km from the historic Ahom-era Rangghar to the Darbar field, interacting with hundreds of Congress workers, as thousands of onlookers gathered on the roadsides to get a glimpse of the leader. "RSS people are being appointed as vice chancellors in universities and reputed institutes. "They are trying to suppress the voice of the youth -- be it in JNU, in Hyderabad, Lucknow and other places," Gandhi told the media after addressing a public rally at the end of the road show.
He slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address at the rally. "He (Modi) promised to contain price rise of essential commodities when he came here before the Lok Sabha polls. However, the price of pulses has soared up to Rs.200 now. He assured to give Rs.15 lakh to each of the Indians in the country. Rs.15 lakh did not come to the Indians but only suits worth Rs.15 lakh came for Modiji," Gandhi said.
