Today Rahul Gandhi is in Bidar, Karnataka to address a public meeting at the Nehru Stadium. On his arrival Party workers and leaders gave him a warm welcome where an enthusiastic crowd awaited Congress President.

Congress scion challenged PM Modi from the stage as saying, “Karnataka govt waived off loans of farmers. I challenge you (centre) to provide 50% of the farm loan waived in Karnataka. If you have 56-inch chest, I dare you to do this. But you won't do this”.

Rahul Gandhi took on once again PM Modi led Center on Rafale deal as saying, “Nirmala Sitharaman Ji has lied to the youth of the nation. She said India and France have a secret pact & so they can't reveal the price of Rafale aircraft. I asked France President if this is true and he denied”.

He added, “UPA govt gave the Rafale deal to HAL. We told France that we will use the technology and make the jets in India. It would have created lakhs of jobs for aeronautical engineers. Modi came to power and changed the entire deal”.

He furtherAnil Ambani was there with PM Narendra Modi in France when the Rafale deal was signed. He lauded, "Money and jobs have been snatched from the youth of Karnataka and given to Ambani".

Rahul also took a dig at PM Modi on job creation as saying, "PM Modi promised two crore jobs every year and now asks the youth to make pakodas. He also promised to provide gas connections, and now talks about using gas from the gutter".

Later this, tomorrow, He will be in Hyderabad to meet citizens, Congress party workers and leaders.
