Modi waived Rs 16 lakh-crore loans of his billionaire friends: Rahul
With the amount, 16 crore youth could have got jobs of ₹1 lakh per year, and 16 crore women could have received ₹1 lakh a year, tweets Congress leader
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (April 24) accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of waiving off loans worth ₹16 lakh crore of his billionaire friends, and said the country would never forgive him for this "crime".
In a post in Hindi on X, he said this money could have been used to cure the pain of Indians but was spent on creating hype for the ilk of those like 'Adanis'.
"Narendra Modi has waived off the loans of his billionaire friends amounting to ₹ 1,60,00,00,00,00,000 i.e. 16 lakh crore rupees. With this much money: 16 crore youth could have got jobs of ₹1 lakh per year; by giving ₹1 lakh per year to 16 crore women, the lives of their families could have been changed. Countless suicides could have been prevented by waiving off the loans of 10 crore farmer families," he said.
"The entire country could have been provided gas cylinders for just ₹400 for 20 years. The entire expenses of the Indian Army could have been borne for 3 years. Education up to graduation could have been made free for every youth from Dalit, tribal, and backward society," the former Congress chief said in his post.
Charging that the "money which could have been used to cure the pain of Indians was spent on creating hype for those like the 'Adanis'," he said the country will never forgive Narendra Modi for this crime.
"Now the situation will change - Congress will run the government for the progress of every Indian," he said.
