Bhopal: Rahul Gandhi made it clear at the ‘Jan Akrosh’ rally organized by the Congress in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh that the first thing to be implemented would be the caste census if he comes to power at the Centre .
When asked how many Dalits, backward and tribal people there are in the country, Rahul said that no one has an answer and the first thing to do is to solve it. He also explained that they intend to conduct X-ray and MRI examinations of the country by conducting caste census.
He also accused the central government of giving the RSS the job of diverting people’s attention from important issues. The struggle in the country is between two ideas. On one side of it is Congress and on the other is RSS and BJP. Gandhi on one side and Godse on the other. Rahul added that fighting against hatred, violence and arrogance is love, respect and brotherhood.
Rahul said that BJP government is not ready to give fair price to the farmers of Madhya Pradesh for their crops. Ask the farmers of Chhattisgarh what price they get for their paddy. Rahul said that they have fulfilled what they promised.
For the first time in the country’s history, farmers have to pay taxes. During the 18 years of BJP rule in Madhya Pradesh , 18,000 farmers took their lives. Rahul also alleged that Madhya Pradesh has become the focal point of corruption in the country.
During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, people told him that Madhya Pradesh had become the epicenter of corruption in India under BJP rule. The money for mid-day meals and uniforms for the students was stolen by the BJP. One crore youths have been affected by the Vyapam scam. Exam question papers are leaked and MBBS seats are sold.
Governments should work for the people. Not for any organization or one or two big industrialists. “When I raised the Adani issue in Parliament, the BJP canceled my Lok Sabha membership to save him,” Rahul accused.
The ‘Jan Akrosh’ journey started on 19th September . The yatra , which began by dividing Madhya Pradesh into seven regions, will cover 11,400 km across the state’s assembly constituencies . Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh will be held at the end of this year.
