Assam Assembly Election | Rahul made holes in Modi’s ‘Make in India’ pitch

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday slammed the Narendra Modi government for “destroying” small and medium businesses and raising the unemployment rate across the country.

He also selected the evidence of the Prime Minister of ‘Make in India’, taking into account the performance and flawed implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for the economic slowdown in the country.

“PM Modi said about Make in India”. Has it happened? The PM uses a phone with ‘Made in China’ written on the back. The reason for this is that they have sabotaged the country’s economic base through sabotage and wrong GST, ”Mr. Gandhi told a crowd at Gohpur in Assam at a Congress rally.

He said that ‘Make in India’ applies only to unemployment, increasing in every state.

Mr. Gandhi promised that if voted to power in Assam, the Congress would provide five lakh jobs by filling vacant posts in various government departments. He also committed that the Congress would help small and medium businesses and industries.

“The BJP makes long promises wherever it goes. I am not here to lie to you. I made some commitments before the elections in Chhattisgarh, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh. I said that the debt of the farmers will be forgiven. The debts were waived in six hours after the Congress won the elections in Chhattisgarh.

“If the Chief Minister of the Congress Party is appointed in Assam, I promise to the tea workers. 365 will get a daily salary. You will also get electricity for up to 200 units for free and women will get a monthly income of ₹ 2,000.

He also emphasized his party’s commitment to repeal the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in Assam.

He said, ‘They tried to implement the CAA, but the Congress stood against it in the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. Let me tell you that CAA will not come to Assam. We will not allow them to move even an inch with the CAA, ”Mr. Gandhi said.

He promised that the Congress would protect the culture, language, tradition and history of Assam – “the most complex and unique state in the country” – and it was not allowed to run by Nagpur, a coalition of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
