Raebareli,

20 May (HS): Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, called Prime Minister Narendra

Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the RSS traitors on Wednesday for constantly

assaulting the Constitution and selling the country's interests to chosen

industrialists. The Raebareli MP's vehement condemnation came on the second day

of his visit to his area. He

was speaking at a 'Bahujan Swabhiman Sabha' in Raebareli to commemorate local

revolutionary Veera Pasi.

You'll

have to get up and fight. When RSS volunteers visit your house and speak about

Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, you must inform them that their organization,

Modi, and Shah are traitors. They have worked to sell our nation and assaulted

our Constitution, Ambedkarji and Mahatma Gandhi, he declared during the

gathering.

The

BJP condemned his words as a reflection of his anarchic attitude and

personality.

At

the gathering, Gandhi accused the prime minister of undermining the

Constitution by weakening MNREGA, failing to perform a caste census, and

favoring some industrialists.

He

also cited Modi's recent request to reduce fuel usage, gold purchases, and

international travel as a warning of an impending economic storm. In the

following months, inflation will skyrocket. He stated that the prices of petrol,

diesel, gas, and food grains will all increase.

Gandhi

stated that the battle between Iran and the United States will cause a

significant economic shock owing to disruptions in world oil supplies. You may

never have witnessed such inflation in your lifetime.

He

stated that while farmers may face fertilizer shortages and fuel supplies may

be affected, the economic impact will not affect Ambani or Adani, but rather

regular folks. The opposition leader in the Lok Sabha claimed that people were

guaranteed before to the elections that there would be no lack of petrol and

gas and that fuel prices would not rise, but that has now changed. Today, as

petrol prices rise, Ambani exports petroleum outside of India. He buys oil from

Russia and sells it overseas, and the proceeds are used to finance Narendra

Modi, he claimed. Gandhi stated that the government would be unable to shield

the people from the impending catastrophe, the consequences of which would be

apparent in two to three months.

Narendra

Modi will cry on television, just like he did during Covid and demonetisation,

claiming it was not his responsibility. But I'm telling you that the guilt lies

with Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and the RSS for destroying the Constitution, he

claimed. Gandhi also chastised Modi for departing on a five-nation tour shortly

after issuing a plea to the public not to travel overseas. Earlier, he stated

that commemorating Ambedkar, Veera Pasi, and Mahatma Gandhi was only relevant

if their ideologies were safeguarded. Simply folding hands before their statues

is insufficient. He argued that acting against their philosophy has no

relevance. Gandhi said that India's principles of equality and justice must be

upheld together.

Veera

Pasis, Ambedkars, and Gandhis of the twenty-first century will emerge from

among you. They will not appear from the sky, he added. Gandhi went on to

criticize Modi, saying he grabbed all of the money from people's purses and

houses. He said that Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and the RSS had undermined

constitutional protections relating to the public sector, reservation, and

independent judiciary, as well as the concept of a free and independent media. Gandhi

claimed that Modi handed over India's economic structure to Adani and Ambani,

as well as the United States. He accused the Union government of privatizing

the public sector and installing RSS-linked vice-chancellors who, he claimed,

lacked understanding of science, history, and geography and were picked only

for their ideological beliefs.

The

Congress leader claimed that the Constitution, which guarantees one person, one

vote, is being subverted by extra rigorous scrutiny of election registers and

the deletion of crores of ballots. Those who do not vote for them are being

deleted from the voter rolls. He claimed that the Constitution is being

attacked 24 hours a day. But the truth is surfacing, and no one will be spared,

he continued. Earlier in his speech, the Congress leader stated that the

Constitution is not just any text, but one that embodies the ideologies of

Ambedkar, Veera Pasi, and Mahatma Gandhi. It states that India belongs to

everyone, not just any caste, person, millionaire, or organisation, he

remarked.

Gandhi

claimed that in 2016, while demonetising large banknotes, Modi made an

impassioned plea to the public and promised to bring back blck money, but

little came of it. He

threatened to 'hang me if black money is not removed'. But was black money

eliminated? He inquired. During the

lockdown, he claimed, migrant laborers faced enormous losses, but

industrialists' loans worth millions of crores of rupees were forgiven. And the

same thing will happen again. The Congress leader encouraged people to

safeguard the Constitution, saying that slogans alone would not be effective. Simply

folding your hands will not help. You will have to remain firm and fight, he

stated.
