Farmers, youth, underprivileged neglected under BJP regime, says Rahul Gandhi in Uttar Pradesh

Alleging that the Modi government is working for a “select group of rich people”, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday that injustice is being done to farmers, poor and unemployed youth of the country.

“There is a fight of ideologies going on in the country. People think that it is a political fight, a fight for power, but the foundation of this fight is of ideology, of two opposing ideologies. Injustice is being done to farmers, poor and unemployed youth. The land of the poor is being snatched away, but nothing is seen on TV. No news of inflation, unemployment… only Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, shows on Pakistan are seen on TV,” said Mr. Gandhi in Chandauli, during the flag handover ceremony of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra on the Uttar Pradesh-Bihar boundary. 

He stressed that the aim of the yatra is to nullify the environment of hate rampant in the country. “The aim of the yatra is to open the shop of love in the market of hate,” said the Congress leader.
