Govt has ‘forgotten’ poor & middle class: Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked the government on issues of employment and prices of essentials, saying it has “forgotten” the poor and middle class, and is “busy” in increasing the wealth of capitalists. He also said that the BJP will not be allowed to divert the attention of people from issues concerning them. “Tomato: Rs 140 per kg, Cauliflower: Rs 80 per kg, Toor Dal: Rs 148 per kg, branded Arhar Dal: Rs 219 per kg and cooking gas cylinder above Rs 1,100. The BJP government, which is busy in increasing the wealth of capitalists and collecting taxes from public, has forgotten the poor and middle class families,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
