Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi took on the PM Modi-led government, from questioning the ₹16 lakh crore corporate debt waiver to handing over scarce natural resources to a few corporates, in his maiden speech in the Gujarat leg of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Mr. Gandhi launched his salvo as the yatra entered the tribal pockets in the State from neighbouring Rajasthan on Thursday.
Mr. Gandhi spoke about rising unemployment, exploitation of youth through Agniveer recruitment in the defence forces, and marginalisation of tribals, Dalits, and OBCs, as well as exploitation of other backward communities in his address to tribals in Jhalod in central Gujarat on Thursday evening.
“From ports to airports are being handed over to a few corporates while youth are struggling for jobs,” he said, slamming the NDA government’s economic policies.
