Would like to know from our learned friends / leadership – that when you announced various ‘jumlaas’….15 Lacs to every individual, farmers’ loan waivers & subsidies, more than 2 crore jobs for the youth every year, etc. etc..Was all this fair?

The Patna Sahib MP recently praised Congress president for its Minimum Income Guarantee scheme and criticised Union Minister Arun Jaitley press conference calling the scheme calling the announcement “chhal kapat”.
It's a masterstroke by the 'master of situation', @RahulGandhi – declaring #MinimumIncomeGuarantee scheme. It has rattled our people so much that some of our prominent people had to rush for a press conference, calling the whole declaration/ announcement "chhal kapat".
