Congress President Rahul Gandhi sounded the poll bugle in Rajasthan on Thursday and said that his party will fight the elections in the state with unity and alleviate the suffering of the people in Rajasthan.
While addressing a gathering in Sagwara, Rajasthan, Gandhi said that ‘achhe din’ have only arrived for the India’s richest.
The Congress Chief assured that the Congress will bring in development and prosperity for the state of Rajasthan.
“Railway budget of India is ₹1,50,000Cr. But, PM Modi announced bullet train of ₹1,00,000Cr that only benefits a handful of people. The Congress party had announced railway lines worth ₹2000Cr to connect the districts of Rajasthan. But BJP govt cancelled this project. We will implement this when we come to power,” he said.
Talking about Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje- Lalit Modi link, Gandhi said that the BJP government works for these kind of people only.
The Gandhi scion further said that MNREGA empowered millions of people by providing them guaranteed employment but PM Modi thinks it’s a useless programme.
“Today , whatever happens, happens only to benefit a handful of people,” he said.
