Where is Rs 15 lakh per person: Telangana Congress to Modi government
Hyderabad: AICC secretary and Telangana state Congress incharge R.C. Khuntia alleged that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre had failed on all fronts in the last four years. He alleged that the Modi government has betrayed the youth, students and farmers and all sections of society.
Mr Khuntia was participating in a ‘Viswas-ghaat Diwas’ programme conducted by the state Congress on the directions of the All India Congress Committee on the alleged failures of the Modi government.
Mr Khuntia said the BJP must answer the questions posed by the Congress. He said that Mr Modi should reply on the suicide of farmers across the nation.
He asked about Mr Modi’s 2014 election campaign promise of depositing Rs 15 lakh in the bank accounts of every poor person in the country.
He asked why petrol and diesel were not included in the GST, and wanted to know why fuel prices were rising when crude oil prices had come down in the international market.
He said Mr Modi had diluted social justice and betrayed all sections. He said that there was no protection to Dalits, women, tribals and minorities. He said the Congress would end Mr Modi’s rule under AICC president Rahul Gandhi’s leadership.
Earlier Mr Khuntia participated in a rally conducted by the TPCC from Gandhi Bhavan to Nampally Chowrasta, where an effigy of Mr Modi was burnt. Mr Khuntia took a serious view of some party leaders who stayed back at Gandhi Bhavan and did not participate in the rally.
Hyderabad Congress committee president Anjan Kumar Yadav, TS Youth Congress president Anil Kumar Yadav and others participated.
