"30 lakh vacant govt posts will be filled if Congress is voted to power," the Congress leader said. He also assured that a law would be enacted to curb government recruitment examination question paper leaks.
Attacking the BJP government, Gandhi claimed that the ruling party didn't invite President Draupadi Murmu to the Ram Temple inauguration ceremony because she comes from the Adivasi community.
"Dalits, Adivasis, OBCs and the Minorty constitute approx 90% of India's population. But, if we see the institutions and the budget, these people have no participation. The President is an Adivasi, and when the Ram Temple was inaugurated, did you see her face on television? No, because she is an Adivasi. Message was conveyed to her that you may be the President but you won't be allowed to enter the Ram temple... No poor, unemployed, farmer, or labourer was there at the inauguration. There are two India, one is of 5% and one is of the rest," he said.
