Jammu Kashmir: 'Demonetization And GST Have Destroyed Millions Of Small Businesses In India' - Rahul Gandhi | ABP News

Rahul Gandhi emphasized the negative impact of demonetization and the flawed implementation of GST on small and medium businesses in India. He shared a poignant story about a young woman who approached him after a recent program, expressing her dreams of starting a small business in aromatics. She revealed that, despite being promised a government grant and being fully prepared, the funding never materialized. Tragically, her mother passed away, and her father’s assistance could not save the business, which ultimately collapsed. The woman conveyed her reluctance to pursue entrepreneurship again, citing the impossibility of doing so in Jammu and Kashmir. Gandhi pointed out that such experiences reflect the broader political issues affecting local economies, highlighting the urgent need for supportive policies for small businesses.
