Media persons say ’we can’t show truth because we’ll lose our jobs’: Rahul
Live MintMahendragarh: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he has no understanding of the economy, and claimed that the world is mocking India due to the BJP's politics of pitting people against each other. "Media persons say 'we know the truth but we can't show it because we will lose our jobs'.The media, the channels and newspapers are in the hands of 5-10 businessmen," Gandhi alleged. The country which used to show the way to the world, used to live with love, used to progress fast.Today one caste is fighting the other, one religion is fighting the other and the country's pride -- its economy -- Narendra Modi has destroyed it by demonetisation and Gabbar Singh Tax," Gandhi said. "Small and medium businesses --the spine of the country-- say demonetisation and Gabbar Singh Tax have destroyed them," Gandhi said. Slamming the government over privatisation, Gandhi said Modi was privatising PSUs such as BSNL MTNL, Bharat Petroleum and alleged that this was "destroying jobs".
