Demonetisation, GST weapons to kill farmers, labourers: Rahul Gandhi

Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday attacked the BJP-led Union government, alleging that its policies on demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) were weapons to kill farmers, labourers and the poor in the country.

“Policies of Narendra Modi are responsible for spreading unemployment in India. Demonetisation, GST are weapons to kill the poor, farmers and labourers,” Gandhi said while addressing a poll rally in Jamshedpur.

Gandhi also claimed that a battle is on in India between the ideologies of the BJP-RSS and INDIA bloc, who are believers of hatred and love, respectively.

The battle is also between violence and unity, he added.

“The BJP-RSS are playing politics to divide India on the basis of caste, religion and language. The Congress wants to protect the Constitution of India, while the BJP-RSS is hell-bent on destroying it,” Gandhi alleged.

Gandhi also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of funding capitalists who in turn invest money abroad.
