Rahul Gandhi attacks the government and PM Modi in the run-up to state elections in Haryana and Maharashtra. On Tuesday, Gandhi referred to the Prime Minister as a “loudspeaker” for certain industrialists, claiming that his strategy was like that of a pickpocket who diverts people’s attention to steal people’s money.

“Modi is the loudspeaker of big businessman Adani and Ambani. sometimes small areas who distract people before stealing, his only job is to divert your attention so that he can pass your money to select industrialists,” Gandhi said this while campaigning in Vidarbha’s Yavatmal for the Maharashtra assembly elections on October 21.

Rahul Gandhi said “It is a time of uncertainty and fear for millions of PSU employees. I stand shoulder to shoulder with all those employees in protest against this loot and cheat,”.

Gandhi claimed that the BJP government’s pro-rich policies had caused India’s economy to dive. “When a poor person gets money, he starts purchasing things. When the demand increases, manufacturing gets a boost,” before going on to add that the Congress-proposed NYAY minimum income scheme would have jump-started the economy.

Rahul Gandhi is speaking very aggressively in its rally about the current government failure such as serious joblessness and economic slowdown.
