Rahul Gandhi accuses BJP of empowering monopolies, burdening small traders
Dec-24-2025

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticised the BJP government for its policies, claiming they have harmed small business, especially the Vaishya (trader) community.

Rahul Gandhi said, ‘Our business is on the brink of collapse - this anguished cry from the Vaishya community in the business dialogue has truly shaken us to the core. The very community that has historically contributed so much to the nation's economy is now in despair today - this is a warning bell of danger’. He accused the BJP of empowering monopolies while burdening small traders with bureaucracy and flawed policies, such as incorrect GST. 

Congress MP also expressed his full support for the Vaishya community, calling their struggle a fight against the BJP's feudal mindset. He voiced concern over the community's hardships, describing it as a warning about the negative impact of government actions on the economy.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi also accused the ruling BJP government of refusing to discuss the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025 (VB-G RAM-G Bill), in Parliament. He alleged that the bill was not intended to bring development but rather destruction, which would cost Indians their livelihoods.
