"PM Modi might soon handover steel mills of Jharkhand to his billionaire friends": Rahul Gandhi

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) [India], February 4 : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi might soon handover the steel mills of the state to his billionaire friends adding that the economic injustice has been deliberately orchestrated by PM in the nation where ruling party at the Centre (BJP) is keen on handing over nation's wealth and resources in few hands.
Addressing a public meeting on the Day 22 of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra here today, Gandhi pointed out how Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies like the demonetisation and faulty GST system had destroyed the country's economy, broken the back of industry that has led to widespread unemployment.
"A few billionaire friends of the Prime Minister are gradually getting control over all the resources. Prime Minister might soon handover the steel mills of the state, like the Bokaro to the same friends," Rahul Gandhi said.
Gandhi further pointed out that "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies like the demonetisation and faulty GST system had destroyed the country's economy, broken the back of the industry that has led to widespread unemployment".
"Prime Minister was handing over the Public Sector Undertakings, which otherwise generated huge employment, to his friends," he said.
Cautioning the tribals, Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP-led Centre is hell-bent on taking away their land, forests and water which the Congress party has always defended and protected by enacting special laws for the purpose.
"Congress party will keep on working for you, come what may," he said.
He further stated that Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra has become a success and he will keep fighting against the divisive ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
"Congress will keep on fighting against the divisive policies of the RSS and will not let it to spread hate and violence," he said.
