'Suit-Boot Govt's Only Target Is To Fill Coffers Of Friends': Rahul Targets Centre Over 'Falling Wages'

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that no matter how much the public is suffering from inflation and unemployment, the "suit-boot" government's only goal is to fill the coffers of "friends". Gandhi shared a graph of household per capita income growth on Twitter that was derived from the "India's Consumer Economy 360 Survey." 

The graph revealed that the income of the poor class decreased by approximately 50% between 2016 and 2021, the income of the middle class decreased by approximately 10%, and the income of the rich class increased by approximately 40%.

In a Hindi tweet, Gandhi stated, "No matter how much the public is suffering from inflation and unemployment, the 'suit-boot government' has only one target -- to fill the coffers of 'friends'."

Labeling an article communicating worry over the development pace of wages of workers and laborers, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a tweet, "Growth rate of real wages between 2014-15 to 2021-22 per year: 0.9%- Agricultural labour, 0.2%- Construction workers, 0.3%- Non-agricultural labour." "But in just the last 5 years Adani's wealth increased by 1440 per cent. Mitr ka Saath, Mitr ka Vikas!" Ramesh said.

The government has refuted Congress's claim that it works for the benefit of friends who are "crony capitalists."
