Baloda Bazar, November 13: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday launched a diatribe against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “misleading” people on India’s development.
Addressing a rally here ahead of the second phase of polling in the state on November 20, Gandhi said as per Modi, development of the country began only after 2014 when he became the prime minister.
“He (Modi) doesn’t know that the country is run by people and not by a single man. He insults you by making such comments,” the Congress president said.
Demonetisation and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was aimed at breaking the back of small and medium businesses, Gandhi said. The Congress would encourage youth to do business and get loan facility from banks, he added.
The Congress is not against big industrialists, but if government gave them benefit, small and medium business should not be neglected, he said.
