KULLU: Congress chief Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday mentioned that the best way BJP is working the nation needs to be modified as a result of their insurance policies have triggered big losses to small companies. Addressing a rally in help of Congress candidate from Mandi seat, Vikramaditya Singh, Priyanka mentioned that steps like demonetization and GST triggered a huge effect on small companies within the nation.
“During the entire tenure of Modiji, the work of creating employment has almost come to a standstill. Our country is facing the highest unemployment in the last 45 years. 70 crore youth are unemployed. To remove this, the way BJP is running the country must be changed because their policies have caused huge losses to small businessmen. Everyone knows that demonetization and GST have caused damage to the tourism industry,” she mentioned.
हिमाचल में आपदा आई तो केंद्र की भाजपा सरकार ने एक पैसे की मदद नहीं की। इसके कुछ ही महीनों बाद लोकतंत्र के प्रति अपराध करके जनता की चुनी हुई सरकार को गिराने की कोशिश हुई। किसी विधायक को पैसे देकर उसका दल बदलवाना लोकतंत्र के खिलाफ अपराध है। ये अपराध किसने कराया? नरेंद्र मोदी जी,… pic.twitter.com/6VOA3X8nNW

She asserted that if elected to energy, they are going to work to strengthen the small enterprise within the nation as many of the employment is supplied by this sector. “We want that if our government comes to power at the Centre, we will strengthen the small and middle-class businesses. Our understanding is such that most of the employment is provided by these industries,” Priyanka mentioned.
Targeting the BJP, the Congress chief mentioned that their coverage is to strengthen massive billionaires by eliminating small companies. “Today, all the wealth of the country is slowly being given to a selected few billionaires. The country’s coal, mines, ports, airports, everything is being given to their friends. This causes a lot of loss to the country. Most of the cold storages in Himachal belong to Adani ji. What this means is that today Adani ji will decide what will be the price of your Apple. You have reduced the tax on apples coming from America and our farmers are paying GST for everything. Today all the agricultural equipment has become expensive,” Priyanka Gandhi added.
Speaking on the Agniveer scheme, Priyanka mentioned, “Many youths from Himachal join the army and protect us. But today Modi ji brings a scheme like Agniveer. If an Agniveer is killed in action, he will not get the status of a martyr. The martyr’s parents will not even get a pension.”
Voting for all 4 seats in Himachal might be achieved within the final part of the Lok Sabha elections on June 1.
