During a public address in Barpeta, the Congress president alleged that Prime Minister Modi had misappropriated funds intended for the underprivileged and redistributed them to the affluent.
“They are selling government-owned enterprises i.e. railways, roads, ports, airports. Modi and Shah both are sellers and who are the buyers? Adani and Ambani are the two buyers. This is how the country develops. They are not for the development of the country. PM Modi looted the money of the country, of the poor, and gave it to the rich. They have waived off Rs 16 lakh crore of the rich but haven’t given anything to the poor or the farmers,” Kharge stated.
“These people (BJP) advertise that PM Modi is the only one who was born to help the poor. In a country where rice and wheat weren’t enough produced and we had to import from America, today we are producing the amount of wheat, rice, and pulses that are sufficient for the people of the country to have their meals. This is all because of Congress, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, and Indira Gandhi who brought the Green Revolution and White Revolution to the country,” he continued.
“In a country where not even a needle used to be manufactured, if someone dared to launch rockets, it was Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and Indira Gandhi,” he stated.
