Centre playing with youths’ sentiments: Rahul Gandhi
Calling out the Centre over hiked prices, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the ruling party and said that the prices of essential items were pushed to the higher side.
His remarks came while addressing the masses during Bharat Jodo Yatra in Malegaon, Maharashtra.
“We are walking in the Bharat Jodo Yatra to protect the Constitution…Farmer’s basic needs are diesel, petrol, gas cylinders but the current govt hiked the rates of these things,” said Congress MP Rahul Gandhi.
“Modi government says that become Agniveer, take training for 6 months, work for 4 years in the Army and then become unemployed for the rest of your lives. What kind of nationalism is this? They are playing with youths’ sentiments in the name of Agniveer,” he added.
Highlighting the unity during the ongoing yatra, the Congress leader said,” This yatra has completed 70 days as of now, you see any hate or fight in this yatra, no one divided you on the bases of caste and religion. We never left anyone behind. If farmers, labour or workers walk in this Bharat Jodo Yatra we never left them behind, they walk with us.”
Congress leader Sachin Pilot will also join Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ on Wednesday in Maharashtra.
