Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the graft issue, Congress president Rahul Gandhi today accused him of supporting mining baron Reddy brothers and changing CBI into "Central Bureau of Illegal Mining."
Gandhi, back in Karnataka for the seventh leg of his poll campaign, accused Modi of telling "lies one after the other" and spreading anger, hate and added, "this man cannot take this country forward."
The Congress president said Modi comes to Karnataka and says he is standing against corruption "when on his one side is Yeddyurappa (state unit BJP chief) who had been to jail and on the other side four ministers who had been to jail."

He also asked the media to question Modi regarding "Central Bureau of Illegal Mining" and the Reddy brothers as to "why they were given tickets, why are they getting his support. But the press cannot ask him question. Modi only tells his Mann ki Baat..this is the truth."
Terming Modi's words as "hollow", Gandhi said the Prime Minister talked about "56 inch chest."
"Modiji sat on a swing with China's President, then the Chinese President intruded his army into Doklam, 56 inch chest did not utter a word. Today he has gone to China in aeroplane."
