Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the loudspeaker of Ambani and Adani, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday while alleging that the Central government is working for the benefits of the corporate people.
"Inspector Raj is going on and officials are taking the bribe. And Narendra Modi says there is no corruption. Modi is the loudspeaker of Ambani-Adani. He talks about them only. He talks about them the entire day," said Rahul while addressing an election rally here.
Talking about the state of the country's economy today, Rahul said that after six months people will notice the unemployment. "You will see the unemployment in India," he added.
"You bring the GST and the demonetisation, which are the reasons behind the economic condition today. Have you ever seen Modi with farmers? You can only see him with businessmen," said Gandhi.
The Congress leader said that earlier the BJP said demonetisation was a fight against corruption "but did you see Ambani and Adani in that line in front of the ATM. Then they brought Gabbar Singh Tax. There are 5 different taxes and 28 per cent tax. Is there anyone who was benefitted by GST? Only corporate got the benefit."
Rahul said the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is shattered now because of the government's wrong policies.
"You call yourself nationalist. Tell me why you are selling public sector companies to your corporate friends. There is only one target. Modi and Khattar work for these 15 influential people. Modi is diverting your attention from the real issues," said Gandhi.
