Maharashtra’s battle is between two crorepatis and the poor, says Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi highlights battle between crorepatis and poor in Maharashtra ahead of election results, addressing key issues.

Ahead of Maharashtra’s election results, Rahul Gandhi on Monday (November 18) said that the battle in Maharashtra is a battle between crorepatis and the poor people.

The Congress leader was in Mumbai on Monday and addressed a press conference.

“Rs. 1 Lakh Crore wanted by one Crorepati. We think that the youth and poor of Maharashtra need help. Inflation, price rise, poverty, unemployment are the issues,” Mr. Gandhi said.

Talking about caste census, he said, “This is the biggest issue in the country today. 50 are per cent Dalits and Adivasis, yet, they don’t have any say in the system. We want to change that. So we don’t even want the 50 per cent cap on reservation. We further need health insurance, unemployment allowance, 2.5 lakh government jobs for people. The target is Adani. The target is to change Mumbai,” he added.

Ek hein toh safe hein is the slogan that Narendra Modi gave. This is his safe, said Rahul Gandhi, as he unveiled a map of Dharavi, a photo of Gautam Adani and Narendra Modi. “This is what Modi means when he says, ek hein toh safe hein.”

Vedanta Foxconn could have generated employment for your youth, but it has been taken away from you, so has Tata Airbus project which would have given employment to thousands of youth. A total of 5 lakh jobs have been taken away from the youth of Maharashtra, Mr. Gandhi stated.

“Rs. 7 Lakh Crore worth of projects have been taken away from you. BJP wants to distract. The main issue is the lack of jobs, land grabbing in Mumbai, farmers not getting MSP. Since the BJP can’t answer these questions, they are trying to distract,” he said.
