Congress targets Modi government over growing inequality and handling of the economy
The HinduCongress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chief Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took to Twitter to accuse the Narendra Modi government and the BJP of widening economic inequality in India. He said on Twitter: “The richest one per cent in India owns more than 40 per cent of the country’s wealth, whereas half of the population has only three per cent left! Bharat Jodo Yatra is a movement to fill the gap of economic inequality.” Mr. Gandhi said that the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is the voice of the people against such policies of the Modi government, which he alleged have increased poverty. Bharat Jodo Yatra is the voice of the country against these policies of the government.” The Congress has been accusing the Modi government of working only for a “handful of people” and said the 21 richest Indians have more wealth than 70 crore people put together.
