Congress president Rahul Gandhi Thursday sarcastically said only 30 to 40 people in the country are getting the benefits of Indian banking system under the BJP rule and promised more bank loans to young enterpreneurs
He also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the "instrument" of a few people "being allowed to capture our banking system."
The Congress president also hit out at some BJP leaders who allegedly flayed the decision taken by three Congress-ruled states-- Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh--to waive agriculture loans, saying, "if you don't want to forgive farmers' loans, then don't forgive loans taken by businessmen like Anil Ambani, and Mehul Choksi."

Gandhi also attacked the present form of Goods and Services Tax system, dubbing it "Gabbar Singh Tax" and said if voted to power, the Congress government will change the system that is "extremely complicated."
