Modi will even "divide" country to become PM: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi today said Narendra Modi will "divide" the nation and make people "fight" each other as he can go to any extent to become the prime minister in his most direct attack yet on the BJP leader during the ongoing Lok Sabha campaign.
"Modi wants to become PM and he can do anything for it. He will divide the nation, make people fight each other," Modi said referring to the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate by name.

Rahul, who was canvassing for party candidate Phulodevi Netam contesting against BJP's Vikram Usendi, said everything is "consolidated" in Modi's hand in the BJP.

"In BJP, only one person knows everything about the world. If anything happens in the country only that person knows it. They think only person will change the country," he he said.
Rahul also took potshots at Modi over his "chowkidar" pitch and over recent heartburn in senior party leaders LK Advani and Jaswant Singh over their choice of Lok Sabha seats.

"Wah chowkidari ki baat karte hai...Unke bade neta hai Advaniji aur Jaswant Singhji. Unse puchhiye chowkidari kaise hui aur unka kya hua (He talks about becoming 'chowkidar'. Ask their (BJP's) senior leaders Advaniji and Jaswantji of this 'chowkidari' and what happened to them," Rahul said.

He alleged that BJP was involved in "communalism and is dividing the nation in the name of religion".
Referring to alleged surveillance on a woman architect by cops in Gujarat, Rahul said, "What kind of women empowerment they talk about. If women are being sexually exploited, policemen are sent behind women and their phone being tapped. BJP talks about women empowerment. But everybody can see what kind of empowerment it is".
"Tribal women and minor girls are raped. The Gujarat chief minister sent policemen behind women, he asked to tap women's phones," he said.
Rahul also attacked ruling Raman Singh government in Chhattisgarh over the safety of women and their empowerment--the issues Modi raises frequently to attack top Congress leadership.

"More than 20,000 women are missing in Chhattisgarh and ruling BJP talks of women empowerment," he said.
