BJP favours 5-6 richest Indians who monopolise any business they want: Rahul Gandhi

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday rained down hard on PM Modi over his 'what did Congress do in 70 years' remark and alleged that 'BJP is a government for 5-6 richest Indians who are monopolising any business they want.' "PM often asks- '70 saal mein kya kiya?' We never gave India the highest-ever unemployment. We never gave India the record price rise it faces today. BJP govt is not a govt for farmers, youth & women. It's a govt for 5-6 richest Indians who are monopolising any business they want," a tweet by Rahul Gandhi read.

Rahul Gandhi dissed BJP earlier this week as well with allegations of favouring big businesses and said that billionaire industrialist 'Gautam Adani can monopolise any business he wants in the country', now that he is the second richest man in the world.

Earlier, during the initial leg of Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP and RSS saying both spread hatred and violence in the country. "Do you think a country that is divided can solve problems like unemployment? Do you think a divided society can build hospitals, and roads and can educate our children? It is impossible for India to solve such problems if we are following the path of hatred," he said while addressing Congress workers at Cherthala in Kerala.

"How is it that we have the richest persons in the world but our people pay the highest price for essential items? Is it something which we could just accept? We will not allow the ideology of the RSS and the BJP to divide this country and we will not accept India where millions of Indians are jobless. We will not accept an India where millions of people are drowning in high prices for essential items," he added.
