Mehangai Par Halla Bol rally is to wake up government to the plight of people: Congress
The Hindu.Accusing the Narendra Modi government of being "insensitive" to the pain of the common people due to "back-breaking" price rise, the Congress claimed that its Mehangai Par Halla Bol rally on Sunday at Delhi's historic Ram Lila Maidan aims to wake the government up. The Congress leaders said the Modi government was busy toppling Opposition-led governments instead of rectifying the "wrong policies" of the government. Mr. Venugopal said former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi would send a strong message to the nation through the rally, where Mr. Gandhi is the principal speaker. The rally comes ahead of the Opposition party's 3,500-km "Bharat Jodo Yatra" from Kanyakumari to Kashmir starting September 7, highlighting the issues of price rice and unemployment, and promoting communal harmony.
