Rahul Gandhi takes a dig at PM Modi after a man walked 1,300 km to remind him of poll promise; BJP points to Congress failure

The PM promised Rourkela a multi speciality hospital three years ago. Now, Muktikant Biswal has walked 1,300 Km to Delhi because the PM hasn’t kept his promise & people are dying.

I assure Mr Biswal: the people of India & the Congress party will keep the PM’s promise for him. https://t.co/1fFFPeDCIB

Responding to Rahul’s tweet, Union Minister and senior BJP leader Dharmendra Pradhan said at a press meet, “He says many things about Shikanji, McDonald’s and what not. He does not know what he is saying”. He said Biswal’s “long journey is the symbol of the failure of the long rule of the Congress”.

At Rourkela in 2015, the Prime Minister had said, “The government of India has decided that IGH (Ispat General Hospital) will be converted into a medical college and super speciality hospital, though I hope no one has to go there and no one falls sick.”
