NEW DELHI: Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi today reminded him of his promise to bring back black money garnered abroad and asked if he had brought some of it on his plane while returning from the WEF (World Economic Forum) meet in Switzerland.
Using Twitter as a tool, Gandhi had yesterday also attacked the prime minister, who addressed the annual summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, asking he should tell people there why one percent of India’s population has 73 percent of its wealth. “Dear PM, Welcome back from SWITZERLAND. A quick reminder about your promise on BLACK MONEY. Youth in India was wondering if you got any back with you on your plane?”
