Rahul Gandhi tweets the time for change has come, your time is up Modi Ji

New Delhi, May 8 With polling for two more phases of Lok Sabha polls left, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said time for change has come and that "time was up" for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Gandhi claimed that young and the old are voting in large numbers for NYAY, the Congress' "Nyuntam Aay Yojna" (minimum income guarantee scheme) to eradicate poverty, noting it showed how powerful the idea was.

The Congress has reported that under the plan, the party, if voted to power, will give Rs 72,000 every year to 20 percent poorest families in the nation.

"Across India, it's not simply youngsters who are coming out in large numbers to vote for NYAY; more established increasingly experienced voters also have seen how incredible the thought is.?

"Modi Ji, your time is up. The time for change has come," he said on Twitter.

The Congress had announced last month 'Ab Hoga Nyay' as its battle cry for the Lok Sabha polls and launched a campaign centred around the theme of 'justice' while alluding to the party's proposed minimum income scheme.
