UP elections 2022: Get your petrol tanks full immediately, govt's 'election' offer going to end: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi, March 5: Ahead of the final phase of voting for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at the BJP-led Central government on Saturday over rising fuel prices and advised people to fill up their fuel tanks, warning them that the Centre's "election offer is going to end".
Addressing an election rally in Pindra, Varanasi, Rahul Gandhi said, "I will die, but will never tell you that I will deposit Rs 15 lakh to your bank accounts. I do not care if it makes you feel good or bad. I respect you all enough to never lie on your faces. Modi Ji lies and says he protects Hinduism. No, he protects lies. They talk about the Hindu religion all over the country. Tell me what is the Hindu religion? It is nothing but the truth. They do not seek votes on the name of the Hindu religion, but on the basis of lies."
