Dausa, November 19: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Adani issue and the caste census. While addressing a public meeting in Rajasthan's Dausa, the Congress leader said, "PM Narendra Modi says that there is no caste; there are only poor. When the time came to give rights, then there was no caste...When it is time to promote fighting, then there are OBCs and Dalits...".

His response came after PM Modi attacked the Congress party at a rally in the poll-bound state of Rajasthan, saying, "Congress has left no stone unturned to deceive the children of such a land". The Wayanad MP told the gathering that the party gave seven guarantees to the people of the state in the run-up to the November 23 elections. Rajasthan Assembly Election 2023: If Elected Again, Congress Will Give Rs 10,000 to Women in State, Says Rahul Gandhi While Addressing Rally in Dausa (Watch Video).
