Rahul Gandhi gets Trolled By Students at Mount Carmel College on Swachh Bharat and Make in India Issue

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's attempt to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet project Swachh Bharat backfired on Wednesday when students of Bengaluru's prestigious Mount Carmel College shot back for his remark that the cleanliness programme Swachh bharat was not showing results. 


During a Q and A at the prestigious Mount Carmel College for women, Mr Gandhi spoke on a range of subjects with a common idea, that the "suit-boot" government was failing on all fronts.

He criticised PM Modi and said, "The only way to transform this country is not through one man, but with every Indian's help, with the participation of the poor." "Not once has PM called up anyone in the Congress party. Democracy is about conversation," he added.

The question-answer session featured the raging "climate of intolerance" debate in the country. To one question on intolerance, Gandhi said: "I don't like what is happening in the country. It disturbs me as an Indian. I'm sure it disturbs all of you." 

Gandhi used the intolerance issue to fire a salvo at the BJP and its mothership Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. "What is the difference between the BJP, RSS and us? There are numerous differences. But there is one central difference. From our.
