ahul Gandhi Congress vice president on Friday said his party would set up an individual ministry for fisheries if they came to power in Gujarat.
Addressing the fishermen community in Porbandar, Rahul said, "There should be a separate ministry for fisheries in Gujarat. And if the Congress comes to power in Gujarat, we will do this."
He made another promise to the fishermen community of providing all sort of help.The Congress scion also cornered Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the big decision taken by the central government on demonetization saying the note ban was a scheme to convert the black money into white.
He further said that Gujarat did not belong to only five or ten big industrialists, but also to the farmers, laborers and small-scale businessmen.
"In the last few years, all of the work in Gujarat has been done for just five to ten industrialists. And those industrialists contributed to campaigning for PM Modi later on," he added.
"But the most important fact is that Gujarat does not belong to five or ten industrialists. It belongs to the farmers and fishermen," he said.
The Congress vice-president also slammed Prime Minister Modi saying he gave Rs 33,000 crore for Tata Nano factories.
"The Congress had given Rs 33,000 crore for NREGA. PM Modi gave the same amount for Tata Nano. You lost your land, water, electricity for Tata Nano. And now, you are telling me that you did not see Tata Nano anywhere," he said.
He added, "The truth is that if a big industrialist asks for money from PM Modi, he is ready to give Rs 33,000 crore to that one person. But if any fisherman approaches him, they will not even get Rs 300 crore," he said.
