'PM Modi finished small businesses; India behind Pakistan in key metric', claims Rahul Gandhi
PTC News Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi finished small businesses with his government's significant decisions, such as demonetisation and the implementation of the goods and services tax (GST), claimed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Madhya Pradesh.
Addressing the crowd, he also said that India now has more unemployment than Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Pakistan as a result of PM Modi's policies.
"Today, the country's unemployment rate is at its highest in 40 years. India's unemployment rate is double that of Pakistan. We have more unemployed youth than Bangladesh and Bhutan because Narendra Modi demonetized and implemented GST on small businesses," Rahul Gandhi said.
On Saturday, Rahul Gandhi blamed the country's high unemployment rates on the Modi government's economic policies, including demonetization and the Goods and Services Tax. He claimed that these policies were detrimental to the MSME sector, which employs the majority of the youth.
According to the World Bank report, India's youth unemployment rate in 2022 was 23.22 percent, greater than its neighbours Pakistan (11.3 percent) and Bangladesh (12.9 percent).
He also addressed a crowd in Mohana.
"During our previous yatra, people told us, 'You have walked from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, but what about the other states - West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and northeast states?' That is why we began our second yatra and added the word 'nyay' to it," he explained.
Rahul Gandhi addressed ex-servicemen and Agniveers in Gwalior on Sunday morning, as his Yatra entered its 50th day.
