The Congress candidate in Wayanad also took a swipe at Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for 'sparing Modi' and targeting him instead.

"The prime minister says the electoral bond scheme was designed to bring transparency to India's political system, but the Supreme Court thinks it is illegal," Rahul said.

He alleged that companies that donated to the BJP got contracts worth crores of rupees.

"Twenty-two people have as much wealth as 70 crore people in India. This is Modi's gift to India," he added.
