Jaipur: Senior Congress Leader Randeep Surjewala The party’s ‘Mehangai Hatao Maharally’ in Jaipur on December 12 will be a decisive battle against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre, he said on Saturday.
He alleged that “anti-people” Modi The government” has dealt a double blow to the people by first destroying their livelihood opportunities and then throwing them into the fire of inflation.
Surjewala was talking to reporters at the State Congress office here.
Congress’s Sunday rally is against inflation in the country and will also address it Rahul Gandhi And Priyanka Gandhi Vadra,
“December 12 Rajasthan Rajasthan Will witness a great war against inflation. This will be a decisive battle against the Modi government, which is dominated by the arrogance of power and is in deep sleep. The echo of the rally will be heard across the country.
The rally was earlier proposed to be held in Delhi, but was shifted to Jaipur after the central government did not allow it.
Surjewala said the Modi government was unaware of the “bravery of Rajasthanis” who managed to defeat “arrogant dictators” in the past.
He said that in the last seven years, the Modi government has only created opportunities for the capitalists and cheated the common man.
He said that necessities like petrol, diesel, vegetables, pulses, oil or salt have become beyond the reach of common man.
“In the year 2014, when the Modi government came to power, the price of LPG cylinder was Rs 400, the price of diesel was Rs 56 and the price of petrol was Rs 70 per liter and the price of crude oil was $108 per barrel.
Today LPG price has crossed Rs 1000, cylinder used in hotels and street vendors is more than Rs 2000, petrol and diesel cost more than Rs 100 per litre, cooking oil Rs 200 per litre And now the price of tomato is also Rs. 100 per kg,” the party general secretary said.
He also alleged that in the last seven years, the Modi government has “looted” Rs 24 lakh crore by increasing excise duty on petrol, diesel, and cess, dividend etc.
He said that the excise duty on petrol was only Rs 9.20 per liter under the UPA-Congress government, which was increased to Rs 32.90 per liter by the Modi government.
He said the BJP reduced the excise duty on petrol to Rs 21.80 per liter after its defeat in the by-polls held on November 4, but it was still 512 per cent higher than the Congress government.
Referring to the data of the recent RBI report, the Congress leader said that according to the ‘Demonetisation and wrong GST’ report, the Modi-government ruined the small and medium industries of the country.
He said that despite demonetisation, the amount of cash in the economy grew by 64 per cent.
Just before demonetisation on November 8, 2016, the cash in circulation stood at Rs 17.74 lakh crore, which increased to Rs 29.17 lakh crore as on October 29, 2021, he said, citing the report.
He said that according to the recent ‘Global Hunger Index Report’, India is also behind Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh, ranked 101st out of 116 countries.
Surajwala cited the “World Inequality Report” released this month to say that only the top 10 per cent of the country’s total income has 57 per cent, while the bottom 50 per cent have only 13 per cent of it.
He cited an NSO report to say that under the Modi government the average income of farmers in the country has come down to Rs 27 per day – less than MGNREGA wages.
He alleged that far from doubling the income, the income of the farmer has been reduced ten times.
He also highlighted the findings of the Labor Ministry last year, according to which, the country faced the worst unemployment rate in the last 45 years, touching a high of 10 per cent at that time.
