Jammu and Kashmir Elections: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has reached Jammu to campaign for the third and final phase of the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. Where he is accusing the central government on many issues including employment. Addressing the rally, he said, 'You have been wronged, your democracy has been taken away. This state is not run by local people, but by outsiders. The rights of the state have been taken away and it has been centralized.'
to Jammu and Kashmir The outsiders are driving
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said during the election campaign, 'If BJP does not give you the status of a state, then we will work hard to give you the status of a state. Because, this is your right. Without this, you will not be able to dream of Jammu and Kashmir, the youth will not get employment. As long as there is a Lieutenant Governor here, all the work will go to the outsiders and they want that Jammu should be run by outsiders, not local people.'
Talking about trade and business in Kashmir, he said, 'Jammu is the central hub here… which connects Kashmir's trade and production with the rest of the country. But the BJP government has ended the role of this central hub. The MSMEs and entrepreneurs here have been crippled. Unless the MSMEs of Jammu and Kashmir become self-reliant, employment will not be generated here. If our government is formed, we will also promote small industries.'
target on modi government
Rahul Gandhi said, 'We thought that you would get your statehood back before the elections. This was the right way, but now we want you to get your democratic rights as soon as possible. This has never happened before in the history of India. This should not happen to anyone, as soon as our government is formed in Jammu and Kashmir, we will give you statehood. GST is the weapon with which small and medium enterprises of Jammu and Kashmir were attacked. The truth is that demonetisation and bad GST destroyed millions of businesses in India.'
