Thakur stated that the group, which wanted to make the food park, had opted out of the project in 2012-13 due to non-availability of gas, and Rahul was misleading the people on the issue.
"The person (Rahul), who was in slumber for past five years and is not in the habit of doing his homework, is misleading the people on the food park matter. What was he doing for past few years, when all this happened?" Thakur, presient of Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM), told PTI over phone from Ayodhya, where he had come to attend a party meet.
However, Thakur said Rahul was doing "cheap politics" and only misleading people against BJP government. He also accused the Congress of spreading lies on the Land Acquisition Bill, and said that farmers would get four-times higher compensation.
"A lie has been spread against Land Acquisition Bill. Congress is saying that every farmer has to give his land despite the fact that only 0.05 per cent land will be required. Also, we have hiked compensation of farmers by four times and making provision of giving jobs," Thakur said.
"All these works of BJP government has not gone well with Congress and it is now engaged in spreading canards. It (Congress) cannot see what we have done, but the common man is realising the change," he said.
