Making everyone poor to ensure equality has been the philosophy of Rahul Gandhi, opined former chief minister and Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency BJP candidate Basavaraj Bommai. Talking to reporters in Laxmeshwar, he said there has been tremendous response everywhere and all sections of the society were supporting him. The support was swelling for him daily and he was confident of winning the election by a big margin.
Commenting on guarantees, Bommai said, "While the BJP's guarantees were permanent as it has given them jobs. Rahul Gandhi spoke of equality by conducting a nationwide economic survey. There are two types of equality, one of making the poor richer and making them equal, and another of making everyone poor to ensure equality. Rahul had the philosophy of making everyone poor. So, he had been giving an illogical statement out of frustration." Hitting out at the Nari Nyay guarantee of the Congress, Bommai said this scheme had not been announced yet and it would be seen after it was implemented. People want a secure life and that would be available only after Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister again.
