Nagpur: It was raining promises for the farmers at Paratwada in Amravati district. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi promised them multiple farmloan waivers and the setting up of an agriculture commission to solve farmers’ problems if the INDIA bloc is voted to power.
Addressing a huge rally in Paratwada for Bharatiya Janata Party’s Congress candidate Balwant Wankhede who is contesting against sitting Amravati MP Navneet Rana, PM Gandhi said that whenever farmers in any state seek loan waiver. He said the committee will recommend loan forgiveness and announce it to the government. Loan forgiveness does not need to be done once, but can be done multiple times, he added.
He said Prime Minister Modi has never waived farmer loans in the last 10 years, but as soon as the Indian bloc comes to power, he will waive farmer loans.
Gandhi continued: “There is no shortage of wealth in this country. Look at the crorepati businessmen of this country. If you look at their houses and cars, you will see that there is no shortage of wealth in this country. If loans to crorepati businessmen can be waived, loans to poor farmers should also be waived. The central government waives loans from businessmen. Loans from farmers should also be waived.
Gandhi attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Center, accusing it of converting 20-25 people into crorepatis. “We will make millions of people into Lakhpatis,” Rahul Gandhi said.
Please read the parliamentary manifesto, he said, making many points from it in his 20-minute speech. “First, we will bring Mahalakshmi Yojana. We will also create a list of all poor families. Millions of people live below the poverty line in India.
Your list will create will be done. A woman’s name is chosen from each poor family. “The Indian bloc government will directly deposit Rs 100,000 annually into the bank accounts of these women,” he said, pledging that the government would also ensure that millions of women in India become Lakhpatis.
Congress leaders say Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party wants to amend the constitution so that 90% of the population, comprising backward, tribal, Dalit and minorities, can realize their true potential. He claimed that this was because he did not want it to happen.
The 2024 general elections are to protect democracy and the constitution, and the Bharatiya Janata Party wants changes to the constitution. “The BJP is the first political party in India to dare to attack the Constitution,” Gandhi said, accusing the NDA, RSS and BJP of trying to destroy the Constitution. “The Constitution is the voice of the backward classes. No power in the world can change the Constitution. I wonder what gave the BJP the confidence to think of it,” he said.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a subtly attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Supreme Court’s abolition of the electoral bond system, calling it unconstitutional. Announcing his post-election measures, Mr. Gandhi said the theft of plans was so large that Mr. Modi would be in trouble after the elections.
He made the remarks while holding a campaign rally for the Congress candidate Praniti Shinde and NCP (SP) candidate Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil in Solapur on Wednesday.
“Theft in the electoral bonds scheme is at such a level that after polls he (PM Modi) would be in trouble hence he is nervous and making false claims,” Gandhi said addressing a huge gathering. “PM Modi is scared and wants to distract your attention. He knows that he is losing the polls. The people have understood the reality that Modi is the leader of the crorepati and not of the poor class,” he added.
Rahul said that the electoral bond scheme was brought in claiming that PM Modi wanted to eliminate corruption and clean up political funding but he started misusing it as an extortion racket. “It came to light only after the SC forced the State Bank of India to reveal the list of donors under the scheme, which subsequently revealed that the companies were forced to donate funds to the BJP by the means of raids (by the central investigation agencies),” he accused.
There are cases where companies donated funds to the BJP days after a CBI raid and the case was closed after receiving donation. He has started an extortion racket of international level,” he further charged.
