Ahmedabad: Congress stalwart Rahul Gandhi hit out at the BJP government in Gujarat and said that Gujarat is being referred to as the center for drugs, with drugs allegedly passing through the ports. This is the Gujarat model. He states that the state government is turning a blind eye to the issues.
Further, he said that farmers' debts up to Rs 3 lakh would be waived off, if Congress win the election in Gujarat. "BJP on one side builds his largest statue and on the other side, works against people for whom he fought," he said in Ahmedabad. "If we come to power in Gujarat, we would write off farmers' debts up to Rs 3 lakhs."
In a harsh attack on the Narendra Modi-led central government earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are dividing the nation and instilling fear in people's minds about "their future, inflation, and unemployment, which is driving them towards hate." "In India, hatred is on the rise. In India, people are growing more afraid of unemployment and inflation, which is leading to a rise in hostility. The BJP and RSS are dividing the nation and instilling terror there. Who benefits from this fear? Does the Narendra Modi government offer any benefits to the underprivileged, farmers, or small business owners? Only two industrialists in the nation who profit from this xenophobia, "a Congress MP alleged.
He added that only two significant industrialists are benefited by the policies of the Modi government. "The BJP is favouring just two people. See what Narendra Modi did with the demonetization? Did it aid those in need? The three agricultural legislation that the government ultimately withdrew did not apply to farmers; rather, they were intended solely for those two industrialists. But when Narendra Modi saw the farmers on the street and shown their strength to him, he was forced to repeal the three farm regulations" he said.
The Modi government "broke the backbone of small and medium firms" he said. "You are impacted by unemployment in one manner, and then you feel the effects of rising prices. Narendra Modi asks what has Congress done in seventy years. I will say that Congress has not caused such a price increase for the nation in 70 years, and Narendra Modi's government prevents the Opposition from raising the issue in Parliament. Whether there is a problem with farmers or China, "he added.
Rahul Gandhi said that he is not frightened of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) or their interrogation when discussing the abuse of Central Investigative Agencies. "I was asked to sit for 55 hours by the ED, but I'm not scared of your ED. No matter if it's 55 hours, 5 months, or 5 years," he said.
