"Chinese Army Couldn't...": Rahul Gandhi Aims At PM As Yatra Reaches Indore
NDTV
Rahul Gandhi claimed the media is ignoring pressing public issues, and reporting on celebrities instead.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra arrived in the country's cleanest city, Indore, on Sunday, on the sixth day of its Madhya Pradesh leg. The city is a BJP stronghold, where Congress has failed to win Lok Sabha polls since 1984, and mayoral polls since 1995.
At the Rajwada palace, Rahul Gandhi again attacked the central government, saying, "What the Chinese army couldn't do to India has been done by demonetisation and a flawed GST".
Mr Gandhi repeated his assertion that the twin policies were "disastrous", and hindered the cash flow of small and medium traders and farmers, who he says are the biggest employment generators in the country.
"This resulted in the end of jobs in the country. Until the micro, small, and medium enterprises, and farmers, aren't revived, India's youth won't get jobs. Look at what is happening now, those who have engineering and other professional degrees are driving cabs or delivering food on order," he said.
