Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi spoke in the Lok Sabha on Thursday and attacked the Modi government over ‘rising food prices’.

“During elections, Modiji had said ‘make me a chowkidar’ (watchman). Now, there is a theft of dal under the very nose of the chowkidar. But the chowkidar has not uttered a word. He is mum... Now he has become a big person. Leave that job of chowkidari to the Congress,” Gandhi said.

In reference to a BJP slogan ‘Har Har Modi’ used during the Lok Sabha polls, he said “now people are saying ‘Arhar Modi’.”
