Rahul flays BJP’s ‘pro-industrialist’ policies at Haryana rally, says Cong will bring about change

PTI Chandigarh: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the Modi government of working for industrialists, and claimed that money keeps flowing into the account of Gautam Adani “like a tsunami” while the common man struggles. He also asserted that the Congress will form a government in Haryana and bring about a change. Addressing a rally in Naraingarh in Ambala district, he said the fight is between the Congress and BJP and their ideologies. “On one hand justice and on the other hand injustice”, he said.

Rahul Gandhi was joined by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and senior Congress leaders from Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Kumari Selja at the rally. Hitting out the BJP government, he said it belongs to big industrialists. “In Haryana we don’t need such a government, but the one of farmers, labourers and poor, he said. Referring to his recent visit to the US, the former Congress president said he met some immigrants from Haryana who went there in search of a better future as they were unable to get employment opportunities in their home state. The Congress leader said it is important to see how much money is going into the pockets of poor and common people and how much is going out. “You have to ask this whether more money is going out of your pockets or more is coming into your pockets,” he said. “Think about Adani ji.

He wakes up in the morning, he does not work in farm, he does not use a plough, does not work in small business, eats good food, lives in palatial house and every morning, for 24 hours, in his bank account, money keeps coming in, non-stop. Like tsunami comes, in same manner money is coming into his bank account,” he claimed. However, money is going out from the bank accounts of people “like a storm,” he said.
