BJP trying to divide Assam so that “business tycoons from Gujarat” take its wealth away, he says
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said his party will not implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and promised to hike the daily wage of tea plantation workers if his party comes to power in Assam.
Launching the Congress campaign for the upcoming Assembly polls at Sivasagar in eastern Assam, he also took a swipe at the BJP for trying to divide Assam so that “business tycoons from Gujarat” take its wealth away.
Mr. Gandhi recalled former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi as his guru who acquainted him with several key issues including the “divisive” CAA.
Ahead of Assembly polls in Assam, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the Central government, saying Assam s tea garden workers have been getting Rs 167 per day wage while traders in Gujarat own tea gardens. Assam s tea garden workers get Rs 167 per day wage while traders in Gujarat get tea gardens. We promise to give tea garden workers of Assam Rs 365 per day wage. Where will the money come from? It will come from Gujarat s traders, Rahul Gandhi said as he assured tea workers of increasing their wages in Assam. No power in the world can break Assam. Whoever will try to touch the Assam Accord or spread hatred, Congress party and people of Assam will teach them a lesson together, he said.
(MENAFN - IANS) p>Guwahati, Feb 14 (IANS) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed on Sunday that the three new central farm laws will help corporates and rich people grab agribusiness worth Rs 80 lakh crore in India.
Addressing an impressive public gathering in eastern Assam s Sivasagar, Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Parliament nothing about interests of farmers despite the fact that they have been agitating for nearly three months now. The BJP-led central government has already ruined the Indian economy and the people across the country by introducing Goods and Services Tax and demonetisation, and now it is trying to further dent rural economy by these three laws, he said.
