Rahul hits out at Cong over price rise

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today lashed out at the Centre for "failing" to control prices, saying it was on the basis of promises made on the issues of inflation and corruption that the BJP government came to power.
"It was on the issue of inflation and corruption on which this government came to power...It is their responsibility to control prices", Gandhi told reporters here.
"The prices are not coming down... The price of vegetables has gone up....It is their responsibility to control prices", he said.
On Deputy Chief Minister of Goa, Francis D'Souza's remark on India being a "Hindu rashtra", Gandhi said there is no difference between BJP and Shiv Sena, and alleged that both "are working to divide the country."

"Congress is fighting against this", he said.
Gandhi also visited different villages including where from Congress got maximum votes in Dalilpur.

Arriving from Lucknow by road, he drove to Babupur Sarraiya village in Jagdishpur Block, Gauri Dubey Kar Purva in Jamo Block and Bansi Thauri in Naseerabad Block, villages where Congress got maximum number of votes and promised installation of water tanks run by solar power in two of them.
