In his maiden rally for Delhi Assembly Elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, saying they don’t want the backward and minorities to get their due.
Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party, which was part of the opposition INDIA alliance, Rahul Gandhi said people should ask Kejriwal if he supports reservation for the backward and caste census.
“Prime Minister Modi and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal do not even speak about caste census. Both want backward communities, Dalits, tribals and minorities to not get their rights… You should ask Prime Minister Modi and Arvind Kejriwal whether they support caste census or not… After the Congress government is formed in Delhi, we will conduct caste census in the national capital,” the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha said while speaking at the rally in Seelampur area of the national capital.
The Congress leader also said that he would stand with anyone who is a victim of violence. He also hit out at PM Modi and Arvind Kejriwal over rising inflation and said the poor are becoming poorer and rich getting richer in the country.
“Inflation is at its peak. Poor people are becoming poorer and rich people are becoming richer. Ambani and Adani do marketing for PM Modi. Have you ever seen PM Modi, Arvind Kejriwal saying anything about Adani? …We don’t want a country of billionaires,” the Congress leader said.
