Rahul Gandhi, in Odisha, takes both Naveen Patnaik and Narendra Modi as of the same stripe -they are both autocratic and corrupt, they have no concern for the farmers and the youths, they forgot them after coming to power.

Modi has the remote control of Naveen with him and is making Naveen Patnaik do as he wants Naveen to do, Rahul said while addressing a massive public rally in Tomando mini- stadium; because Ministers of Naveen –Government is involved in chit-fund scam. “Naveen Patnaik has no guts to stand against Modi.”
Naveen Patnaik had stood with Modi on GST and demonetization. In the parliament, his party BJD ’s some of the moves have been seen to be in line with the ruling party.

On farmers’ issue, he said if Congress came to power in Odisha, his government would exempt farmers’ loan in ten days; would provide Rs 2600 per quintal towards the support price of Paddy.
