Congress govt waived off loans of farmers while NDA waived loans of big business houses: Rahul Gandhi

As a sequel to his election campaign in the states likely to go to polls next month, the Congress chief Rahul Gandhi today addressed a public meeting in Datiya, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh assuring the electorates that if his party Congress comes to power in the state ruled by the BJP for the last fifteen years, the first and foremost thing it would do within 10 days would be to waive off the entire bank loans of the farmers and its total focus thereafter would be on providing employment to the youth of the state.

Appearing in an offensive mode the Nehru Gandhi scion missed no time to accuse the prime minister Narendra Modi for encouraging crony capitalism saying that while during Congress’s rule of Dr. Manmohan Singh, about 70000 crores worth of farmers loan were waived off while during Modiji’s tenure, loans of big capitalists and business houses worth Rs 2 lakh fifty thousand crores were waived off which unambiguously speak of the fact that the present government is anti farmer and pro rich. He added : its not me butthe government’s statistics reveal.

Castigating the BJP led NDA government and the prime minister of betraying the people of the country especially the youths by not fulfilling the pre election promises of two crore jobs to the country men every year, especially the youths, Rahul Gandhi said that the government is also anti farmer as when he ( Rahul) went to meet the prime minister Narendra Modi alongwith a delegation to his office for the first n last time, to demand waiving off, of the farmers bank loans, the PM did’nt uttered a single word fulfilling our demand giving financial relief to the peasents of the country and we were constrained to come empty handed.

Accusing the prime minister Modi, as usual, of favoring Anil Ambani and his company Defence Reliance to bag the contract of the Rafale offset including the finance minister Arun Jaitley for allegedly allowing the fraudster Vijay Mallya leave the country who met him a day earlier in parliament informing about his departure to London, Rahul Gandhi said that the interests of the big business houses are being taken care of, whereas the government has not time to for the poor and the farmers of the country.

Taking a dig on Rafale Jet Fighter issue n the large scale banking frauds, Rahul Gandhi catagorically emphasised that favours were allegedly given to Anil Ambani , Nirav Modi, Mehul Chowksi, Lalit Modi and even Mallya who were known to them personally thus costing the public exchequer heavily of thousands of crores. Rahul said : the entire country budget of MNREGA is 35 thousand crores and Nirav Modi, Mehul Couksi n Mallya have siphoned of more than the budget of MNREGA meant for feeding n providing employment to the poor n hapless, thus costing the public exchequer tremendously.

He questioned as to why the old contract of UPA in the Rafale deal was all of a sudden cancelled and Ambani’s company favored arbitrarily at the cost of experienced HAL, as revealed by the former French President Francois Hollande and prices of the aircrafts’ too enhanced three times from Rs. 560 crores per jet fighter to 1600 crores ?

He openly accused the prime minister’s alleged involvement in the deal to favor Reliance defence and said that the country wants to know the truth behind the entire deal. Appealing to the Congress workers to ensure the victories of the party candidates in the election Rahul Gandhi assured that the doors of the Congress government would be opened for the party workers and any minister or even CM not attending to their woes and grievances would be immediately changed.
