After a brief interaction with the women in Odisha’s Jeypore town the Congress President Rahul Gandhi, addressing a public meeting he made a diabolic attack on both Prime minister Marendra Modi and the Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik on several issues. While jibing at the PM Modi Rahul reiterated his charges of underhand deal by Modi to benefit Anil Ambani, he said that Modi government is an anti-tribal government which is against tribals on the delicate topics like land acquisition to benefit the big business houses.
If Congress comes to power, Rahul claimed that then the government would take the ‘ historic’ step of making a ‘ Guaranteed Minimum Income scheme for each man and also announced that, the Congress shall make provisions for giving free education to every poor students and for the marriage of poor girls. He also promised to enchance widow pension amount to Rs.2,000.
Rahul promised that, if Congress is voted to power in Odisha, loans of farmers shall be waived within ten days and the MSP for paddy shall be enhanced to Rs.2,500.
Contrast to the present government under Naveen Patnaik ‘who runs an officer-driven government’,, Rahul said, that if Congress is brought to power in Odisha, it will be a government that shall be driven by the tribals and ordinary people, not by officers.
