At a recent campaign event in Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi, ex-president of India's main opposition party, Congress, stirred controversy by criticising the current BJP government's economic policies. Gandhi claimed that the BJP's model centralises wealth in the hands of the wealthy and well-connected, while the Congress aims to promote inclusivity and alleviate poverty through its economic proposals.
This is not the first time Gandhi has attacked the BJP on economic matters. Previously, he condemned the BJP for its failure to address the economic crisis and alleviate the suffering of ordinary people. He argued that the BJP's unorthodox and chaotic economic approach reflected favouritism for the rich and provided undue advantages to specific businesses.
However, the BJP hit back, with one party spokesperson accusing Gandhi of speaking emotionally and misleading people with false accusations. They argued that the current government has implemented many new initiatives and policies that directly benefit the poor, irrespective of caste or religion.
Gandhi's outspoken criticism and passionate appeal to the electorate's concerns may hint at a new strategy for Congress, aiming to revive its popularity and challenge the BJP's dominance ahead of crucial elections in 2023.
