New Delhi: Launching a fresh attack on the Centre over employment and prices of essential, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the government has “forgotten” the poor and the middle class and is “busy boosting the wealth of the capitalists”. Taking to Twitter, he wrote in Hindi, “Tomato: Rs 140 per kg, Cauliflower: Rs 80 per kg, Toor Dal: Rs 148 per kg, branded Arhar Dal: Rs 219 per kg and cooking gas cylinder above Rs 1,100. The BJP government, which is busy in increasing the wealth of capitalists and collecting taxes from public, has forgotten the poor and middle-class families.”

The Congress leader further alleged that the youth of the country are unemployed and even if they have a job, then the income is so meagre that there is no savings due to inflation. "The poor are yearning to eat and the middle class is yearning to save," Rahul Gandhi said.

पूंजीपतियों की संपत्ति बढ़ाने और जनता से टैक्स वसूल करने में व्यस्त भाजपा सरकार, गरीब और मध्यमवर्गीय परिवारों को भूल ही गई।

“Congress-ruled states have reduced prices of gas to provide relief from inflation and have put money in the accounts of the poor for financial assistance," he said, adding, "The Bharat Jodo Yatra is a pledge to remove hatred, remove inflation, unemployment and bring equality - and will not allow the BJP to divert attention from public issues,"

Taking a further dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre, he added that even after nine years the same question remains – “after all, for whom is this 'amrit-kaal'?"

It is to be noted that the grand old party has been attacking the government on issues of unemployment and prices of essentials, and accusing the BJP of allegedly polarising the society for its politics of hate.
