Congress will make lakhs and crores of poor people rich through the Mahalaxmi Scheme—Rahul Gandhi

Modi
made only 20-25 of his rich friends richer, and waived off Rs 16 lakh
crore loans of the rich—Rahul Gandhi

NEW
DELHI, ---Congress leader Shri Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress workers should press the
button of Jaadu (broom) and the Aam Aadmi Party workers should press the
button of Hand to help the three
Congress and four AAP candidates of India Alliance sweep all the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi
as Congress’ aim was to save the Constitution made by Dr Ambedkar, Gandhiji and
Nehruji and others to protect the interest of the poor, Dalits, Adivasis, the
downtrodden and the underprivileges, as PM Modi wants to end the Constitution
if he get a majority. Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Shri Devender
Yadav welcomed Rahul Ji with a cotton garland when he arrived to address a
mammoth election rally at the Ramlila ground, Ashok Vihar, in the Chandni Chowk
Lok Sabha constituency today. All the three Congress Lok Sabha candidates, Shri
Jai Prakash Agarwal (Chandni Chowk), Dr Udit Raj (North West Delhi) and Shri
Kanhaiya Kumar (North East Delhi), also addressed the meeting.

Prominent
among those present at the rally were
AICC General Secretary Shri K.C. Venugaopal, treasurer Shri Ajay Maken,
AICC General Secretary Delhi Incharge Shri Dipak Babaria, former PCC presidents
Shri Subhash Chopra and Ch. Anil Kumar, former Union Cabinet Minister Shri P
Chidambram, Shri C.P. Joshi, Delhi Ministers Shri Imran Hussain, Communications & Media Chairman Shri Anil
Bhardwaj, Smt Krishna Tirath, AICC SC Department Chairman Shri Rajesh Lilothia,

Shri
Rahul Gandhi, with a copy of the Constitution in his hand, said that while
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made only 20-25 rich people get richer, Congress
and the India Alliance will make lakhs and crores of poor people rich through
its Mahalaxmi Scheme by depositing Rs 1 lakh per year in the account of the
head of the woman of a poor family. He said that the Modi Government did not do
any work for the traders and business persons of Delhi, instead he only harmed the traders and
businessmen through the ill-advised demonetisation and the wrong implementation
of GST.

Shri
Rahul Gandhi said that the Modi Government waived off the Rs 16 lakh crore
loans of 20-25 rich industrialists, but provided no relief to small traders and
business people. He said that PM Modi was privatizing the Railways, and many
Public Sector Units have already been sold off, adding even the Red Fort has
been privatized, to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. He said that the
Electoral Bond was a major scam as the BJP pressurized people to donate to the
party through electoral bonds by using
the ED and CBI.

Shri
Rahul Gandhi said that Congress will implement the five Nyay for youth, women,
farmers, labour and hissedari to provide justice to them and
uplift the lives of all sections of people.

Delhi
Pradesh Congress Committee president Shri Devender Yadav said that when the
report card of BJP’s 10-year rule at the Centre is taken into account, people
have only struggles and difficulties to narrate as the Capital had witnessed
unprecedented rise in the prices of all essential items, record unemployment
rate ever witnessed in the country, including
the worst-ever in the past 45 years in Delhi, and unchecked air and
water pollution, which has reduced the lifespan of people by at least 11 years.
He said that the prices of cooking gas, petrol and diesel rose sharply but the
BJP Government did not bother about the
plight of the common people, He said that 5 out of 10 youth are unemployed,
though India boasts of being a young nation, but unfortunately the unemployed
youth were wasting away their time in destructive pursuits in the absence of
gainful employment, as the Modi Government only propagated false
narratives like the promise of
generating 2 crore jobs every year, without even bothering to fill the 30 lakh
jobs vacant in Central Government offices.

Shri
Devender Yadav said that when the
Congress-led UPA Government was in power at the Centre, while a litre of
petrol, which cost Rs 70 ten years ago in Delhi, was now costing Rs 96 while
the prices of diel rose from Rs 55 per
litre to over Rs 86 per litre though the BJP Government had promised to bring
down the petrol prices to Rs 35 per litre, He wondered what happened to all
those empty rhetoric by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the BJP Government
only made promises without delivering them. He said that the BJP Government was
directly responsible for the severe air and water pollution in Delhi, as it did
not take any step to implement the pollution control norm in the 11 coal-based
power plants in the neighbourhood of Delhi, which were under the direct control
of the Central Government, but contributing largely to the air pollution of Delhi.

Congress
candidate of India Alliance for the Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency Shri
Jai Prakash Agarwal said that the traders, business community and the local
residents have been suffering for the past 10 years as the sitting BJP MP had
totally ignored the constituency, and as a result, the general condition and
infrastructure of the area have deteriorated beyond imagination. He said that
it was his assurance to the people of Chandni Chowk that if they give me a
chance, I will serve them like no one before had done for the overall
improvement of the area.
