Flaying Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inflicting the "biggest scam"
on the nation in the form of demonetisation, Congress President Rahul
Gandhi on Friday assured the people of Madhya Pradesh that his party, if
voted to power, would waive farm loans and turn the state into Indias
agriculture hub.
Addressing rallies in the state, where the BJP
is in power since 2003, Gandhi also targeted Chief Minister Shivraj
Singh Chouhan over the Vyapam scam and accused his government of
snatching away lands from tribals and farmers and giving them away to a
handful of industrialists.
Addressing an election rally in Deori
of Sagar district, he said during the note ban exercise of 2016, Modi
made hundreds of thousands of labourers, women and small businessmen
stand in serpentine queues outside banks.
"Did you see any black
money hoarders like Nirav Modi or Mehul Choksi queuing up?" asked
Gandhi. "Through the note ban, Modi snatched the hard earned money of
the poor and put them in his cronies' pockets.
"In the last two years, unemployment has doubled and suicide rate among the youth has increased by 2,000 per cent.
"China
creates 50,000 jobs per day, whereas despite 'Start Up India' and 'Make
in India' schemes, the Indian government creates only 450 jobs in a
day," the Congress leader said.
Continuing his attack on Modi
over the Rafale "scam", Gandhi accused him of being a chowkidar
(watchman) only to his industrialist cronies.
Gandhi alleged
that much like demonetisation, the deal to procure the 36 French fighter
jets was only aimed at enriching his industrialist friends.
Launching
a scathing attack on Chouhan, he said: "Entire Madhya Pradesh knows the
role of Shivraj Chouhan and his family in the Vyapam scam."
He
added that over 1,00,000 government posts in the state were lying vacant
while schools and hospitals were privatised and making them
inaccessible to the poor.
Addressing another rally in Seoni,
Gandhi accused the Chouhan-led Bharatiya Janata Party government of
snatching away the land of tribals and farmers. "Three
most important things for tribals and farmers are water, land and
jungle. And this government has snatched them away for the sake of a
handful of industrialists," he said and assured that if Congress came to
power it would protect the land rights of tribals and farmers.
He
said by privatising schools, colleges and hospitals, the Chouhan
government has made education and healthcare inaccessible for the poor. "Chouhan
has destroyed the entire education system in the state. 50 people have
died in the Vyapam scam and entire state knows which family benefited
from the scam," alleged Gandhi.
He also ridiculed Modi over his
2014 Lok Sabha poll promises of providing two crore jobs annually and
giving Rs 15 lakh to every Indian. Taking on the BJP over
farmer suicides, Gandhi said: "Modi opened doors of the banks for
fraudsters like Vijay Mallya and Mehul Choksi.
"His government
waived off corporate loans to the tune of Rs 3.50 lakh crore but could
not do the same for the poor farmers".
"We don't want two countries -- one of the poor and exploited and other of a handful of rich.
"If
we wanted two Indias, we would have hoisted two flags on Independence
Day, one for 15-20 industrialists and one for common man. We want one
country and we want justice.''
"We will open the doors of the
banks for youth, farmers and tribals," said Gandhi promising that food
processing units would be set up across the state and Madhya Pradesh
would be turned into the country's agriculture hub.
The 230-member state Assembly goes to poll on November 28 and the results will be declared on Dec 11.
