Country cannot develop without social & financial justice: Rahul Gandhi in Bihar

January 29, 2024

Patna: On the day one of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Bihar, Rahul Gandhi said the country will develop only when people get social and financial justice.

While addressing a rally in Bihar’s KIshanganj district, the Congress leader said: “I came here in Bihar for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. When I started Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and travelled 4000 km, many people said that our Yatra did not go into the land known for social justice. They asked me to do another Yatra from the northeast region to Maharastra and I accepted and decided to start the Yatra from Manipur to Maharashtra by adding Nyay in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.”

Talking about his Yatra in Manipur, Rahul said that in Manipur he has closely watched the ideology of BJP. He said that Manipur is burning for the last seven months due to divisive ideology of BJP and RSS.

“Now we came to Bihar which is a land of social justice. I firmly believe that the country will develop only when social and financial justice is given to every countryman. Hence, I am talking about social and financial justice of people in the country. Every time when discussion about social justice starts, people look towards Bihar. Hence, it is the responsibility of the people of Bihar to create awareness about social justice and fight for it,” Gandhi said.

“At present, Narendra Modi has given all money to two to three industrialists of the country. They have acquired all airports, ports, railway, industrial units, and others. All banks, PMO, and other government offices are open for them but these institutions are closed for the common people. For common people, they have demonetisation, GST, closure of banks. This is the reality of the Narendra Modi government,” Gandhi said.

“I want to also inform you that the OBC community is 50 per cent in the country but when it comes to participation, they have nothing in hand. It can be proved that the central government is run by 90 IAS officers. They make all budgets and distribution of money in defence, agriculture, irrigation, industries, roads, etc., and I want to inform you that only three IAS officers belong to the OBC community and they distribute only 5 per cent of the total budget in the country,” Gandhi said.
