India becomes a slave of 2-3 leaders of the ruling party and the RSS: Rahul Gandhi

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that India has become a slave of 2-3 leaders of the ruling party BJP and the RSS.

Speaking at the Congress party’s OBC sammelan in Delhi’s Talkatora stadium, the party chief said that no one in the BJP is allowed to speak and they are only asked to tow the line of these leaders.

“Everyone including MPs is afraid to speak. Most of them are not allowed to speak. And those of us who do speak, the BJP does not listen to. Only RSS is given a hearing,” Rahul said. “Today, our nation has become a slave of 2-3 BJP leaders and RSS.”

“You are India’s strength. We will advance together with the Congress party,” the Congress leader said.

“We will not give you just a little space. We will give you what is rightfully yours. We want to bring you to Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and Assembly,” Gandhi said.

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul said his government gave the industrialists Rs 2.5 lakh crore but the farmer did not get a rupee. “BJP’s strategy is clear. 15-20 rich capitalists will give thousands of crores to PM Modi and all benefits will go to just those 15-20 rich people.”

He said that the financial help from banks has been obstructed for farmers and small businessmen.

“Why are the banks not open to our farmers and small businesses? There is no dearth of skills amongst OBC communities, but they lack capital. The person who runs a dhaba or an artisan, they do not get anything from the country,” Rahul said.

“People who really work are confined to the back room, but the profit of their labour is enjoyed by someone else,” the Congress president said.

“Doors of banks and politics have been closed for our people,” he added.

He said there is no shortage of skills in OBC class but the RSS and the BJP do not believe in rewarding skills.
