Rahul Gandhi Criticizes the Modi Government

Nagpur: Former Congress president and MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, accusing it of capturing all the systems since coming to power including media, Election Commission and judiciary.

Addressing a rally on occasion of the party’s 139th foundation day here, he said that after coming to power, the Modi government had promised to provide two crore jobs every year, but he has not delivered on it.

“How many people did the Modi government provide jobs in last 10 years?” he questioned.
The country today has the highest unemployment rate in last 40 years, he said and pointed that millions of youths are wasting their energy due to lack of jobs.

On one hand, farmers and youths are in trouble, on other hand, the wealth of the country is being distributed among a handful of industrialists, the Congress leader alleged.

The Modi government has pushed OBCs, Dalits and backward classes to the margins so that they get very less share in power and administration, he further alleged.

Gandhi claimed that after the Congress party made a demand for conducting a caste-wise census in the country, Modi changed his language saying that the poor are the only caste in the country.

If Congress comes to power, it will conduct a caste-wise census and will make efforts to give employment to the youth of the country, he asserted.

The Congress party will deliver on its promises, he assured.
“We will bring change both in Maharashtra and the country with people’s help,” added Gandhi.
