As the election season intensifies in Jharkhand, Rahul Gandhi has made bold statements addressing the pressing issues of inflation and unemployment under the current NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During his rallies in Jamshedpur and Baghmara, Gandhi linked the country’s economic challenges to what he described as a “politics of hate, violence, and anger,” arguing that these elements have eroded trust and growth.Rahul Gandhi’s campaign emphasized the efforts of the INDIA bloc government in Jharkhand to boost the economy by directly injecting cash into the accounts of poor families. This, he suggests, would increase their purchasing power and stimulate economic activity. Key among his promises is the much-repeated “khatakhat” commitment, pledging Rs 2,500 per month to women, and a comprehensive new health insurance scheme covering procedures up to Rs 15 lakh.
These proposals aim to resonate with voters by addressing both immediate financial relief and long-term welfare. The promises also reflect the Congress’s strategy of prioritizing grassroots empowerment and social safety nets, setting a clear contrast to the NDA’s focus. As Jharkhand’s voters weigh their choices, these policies could play a pivotal role in shaping the state’s political and economic future.
