Jalore (Rajasthan): Congress president Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of doing ‘injustice’ to the people of the country in the last five years, stating that the ‘acche din ayenge’ slogan has now been replaced by ‘chowkidar chor hai’. He was addressing an election rally here Thursday in the Marwar region of Rajasthan. He said there will be only one ‘Hindustan’ where justice will be done when the Congress is voted to power.
“If rich people are not jailed for not paying off loans then farmers too will not be jailed. If lakhs and crores are given to them then the same will be given to farmers, labourers, tribals, Dalits and small traders. There will be no injustice in Hindustan. The country will not be divided in two Hindustans. There will be one Hindustan where justice will be done,” the Congress president told the gathering.
“PM Narendra Modi did injustice with people of the country in the last five years. Demonetisation and GST were ways to rob poor, labourers, small traders of their money. The NYAY YAY scheme will benefit them,” Rahul added.
Rahul said that the Congress government will listen to people’s ‘mann ki baat’ and solve the issues.
“Five years ago, there was a slogan ‘acche din ayenge’. Now people say ‘chowkidar chor hai’ everywhere in the country,” he said as the crowd cheered.
Rahul said the Congress had done brainstorming with eminent economists for minimum income guarantee ‘NYAY’ scheme to deposit Rs 72,000 annually in individual bank accounts of 25 crore poor.
“I want to thank Modi Ji for opening bank account. I am going to deposit money of NYAY scheme in the same accounts. The money will be deposited directly in bank accounts of women of the families,” Rahul informed. He stressed that the money deposited through the NYAY scheme will move the wheels of the economy and create job opportunities for youths.
Rahul said the Congress, if voted to power, will fill 22 lakh government jobs in one year, have separate budget for farmers and also create 33 per cent reservation for women in state assemblies, Parliament and in government jobs.
