In BJP's model money in hands of select rich, while Congress gives to poor: Rahul Gandhi
May-20-2025

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP follows a model under which select rich people get entire money and resources, whereas in the Congress' model, money is put into the bank accounts and the pockets of the poor. 

On the occasion of the completion of two years of his government in Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi said, 'During the election, we made you promises. We had promised five guarantees. The BJP people said that the Congress party will not be able to fulfill it. The Prime Minister said this won't be done’. During the event over 1.11 lakh title deeds were distributed to eligible beneficiaries, whose ‘undocumented habitations’ have been declared as revenue villages. AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, party general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, host of party leaders and ministers were present at the event.

Mentioning the five guarantee schemes implemented by the government, Congress leader said, ‘We have told you that we will put money into the bank account of Karnataka's poor. Today, thousands of crores of rupees are being directly put into your bank account. This money, you use for the education of your children, for your health. This is what we wanted -- your money comes back to your pocket.’

Slamming the BJP, Gandhi said, ‘Under the BJP's model, the entire money is given to two-three billionaires. These billionaires don't spend money in villages or towns, but they buy assets in London, New York and other places. He further said that the BJP wants only select people to get India's entire money, but we want the money to go to the pockets of poor, backward, dalits, adivasis -- directly. When we put money into your pockets, that money goes into the market and because of this production increases and the money gets injected into villages, as you spend this money in your villages, towns and cities, and Karnataka's economy benefits from it’.

The Congress government's five guarantee schemes are -200 units of free power to all households (Gruha Jyoti), Rs 2,000 monthly assistance to the woman head of every family (Gruha Lakshmi), the additional 5 kg of rice to every member of a BPL household (Anna Bhagya), Rs 3,000 every month for unemployed graduate youth and Rs 1,500 for diploma holders for two years (Yuva Nidhi), and free travel for women in public transport buses (Shakti).
