Rahul Gandhi, who is down with high fever, today said he is feeling "much better now" and that he should be "up and about in a few days".
"Thank you everyone for the kind wishes, I'm very touched by your concern. Am feeling much better now. I should be up & about in a few days," the Congress Vice President tweeted.
Gandhi had last week cancelled his two-day visit to Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Kerala for poll rallies, saying he was down with high fever.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished Gandhi a speedy recovery.
"Got to know that Sh Rahul Gandhi is not well from Hon'ble PM who was quite concerned about his health. In view of the concerns of Hon'ble PM, I enquired about his health and wished a speedy recovery for him," Health Minister J P Nadda had tweeted.
Asserting that demonetization was not against the rich
but against the poor, middle class, farmers, labourers and small traders, Gandhi said "all black money is not cash, and all cash is not black money."
"Who has black money, it is with those 50 families, and it is with one per cent super rich in this country..," he said.
"...All the black money is not in cash, India's thieves are clever, and as soon as they get money they invest it in land, real estate, gold or in foreign bank accounts like Swiss bank."
According to government figures, he said six per cent of black money is in cash, 94 per cent in real estate, big buildings and in foreign bank accounts.
Claiming that the Swiss government had given a list of Swiss bank account holders' names to Indian government, he said the Congress had been asking the government to table the names of "these thieves" in the Parliament for the last two and half years."Why is it not being tabled? Why is Modi protecting them?"
"Why are Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya sitting in London? Why are they not in India? Why didn't you get them back?
"Vijay Mallya is India's thief. After demonetization why did you waive Rs 1200 crore loan of this man? Answer me why did you feed him a toffee of Rs 1200 crore?"
Gandhi said Modi knows that most part of black money is in Swiss bank, real estate and in huge buildings, "but I don't know for what reason instead of going after 94 per cent black money, he is after the six per cent. Instead of going after one per cent super rich he is behind 99 per cent."
"He is not after thieves, but behind poor farmers, labourers," Gandhi said.
"Narendra Modi lies, he has lied to us. He had assured
of fighting against black money, but he did not. The whole country is questioning him," Gandhi said.
"When we asked him when he will act against corruption, he scripted a new drama. The super event manager scripted a new drama--surgical strike on black money and corruption."
"Modiji this was not a surgical strike on corruption, but fire bombing on India's poor and farmers," Gandhi said.
Claiming that 50 families and one per cent super rich in the country had taken Rs eight lakh crore from the banks, he said it is these people "who have made Modi, they have made him Prime Minister and sit on that that seat. It is from their money Modi fought elections and did his marketing."
"Modi can't get back eight lakh crore rupees money from them and banks are on the verge of closure and not in a position to give loan. So Modi thought of an option of running banks with the help of poor people's money, that's the reason he has made you to put your money in banks."
Gandhi said Modi had assured that the situation will get to normal in 50 days, but "listen to me and take down in writing from that nothing will happen in 50 days."
"Your money will get stuck in banks for another four to five months and you will see India's economy stumbling. You will also see that in two to three months using these poor people's money eight lakh crore loan of these 50 super rich family will be waived."
Attacking Modi on cashless economy, Gandhi said it is a step to ensure that money in the form of commission goes to those 50 super rich families.
"Narendra Modi you cannot shy away, you will have to answer the country and Congress will ensure that you answer."
Alleging that BJP had either deposited old notes into banks or invested in land ahead of demonetization, he said in September Rs six lakh crore was deposited into banks, this quantum of deposit had never happened in the past.
"It was the money of Narendra Modi and BJP's friends. We will tell this truth to people of the country."
"We will ensure that this suit boot government for one per cent super rich is removed from Delhi," Gandhi said.
Speaking about him along with Mallikarjun Kharge and other Congress leaders meeting Prime Minister on the farm loan waiver issue, Gandhi said Kharge while explaining the plight of Karnataka's farmers and drought situation told Modi that the state's Chief Minister wanted to meet him.
" Narendra Modi did not utter a word in response, he just saw and smiled and did not respond to Kharge. This is the truth."
"Siddaramaiah is your elected Chief Minister, Modi didn't have time for him, he didn't have time for Karnataka's voice, its farmers," Gandhi said.
