Rahul Gandhi criticised BJP govt, accusing it of working for industrialists like Gautam Adani while neglecting needs of common people, farmers & labourers.

During his speech, Gandhi claimed that while common people struggle, money flows into the accounts of industrialists like Gautam Adani non-stop, comparing it to a tsunami.

Gandhi promised that the Congress party would form a government in Haryana, emphasising that it would focus on the needs of farmers, labourers, and the poor.

Gandhi mentioned his recent visit to the US, where he met immigrants from Haryana who left India due to a lack of employment opportunities in their home state.

Gandhi questioned the BJP's claim that its policies benefit farmers, pointing out that if this were true, farmers would not be protesting on the streets against these laws.

Gandhi criticised the Agnipath scheme, claiming it deprives soldiers of their lifelong pensions, calling it an unfair attempt to take money away from jawans.

Gandhi stated that while the Congress party prioritises the interests of farmers and labourers, the BJP focuses on benefiting big industrialists at the expense of the poor.

Without naming them, Gandhi hinted that smaller parties in Haryana, such as the INLD and JJP, are controlled by the BJP, as he sought to present a united Congress front at the rally.
