In a fiery speech in Dhanbad, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led central government of implementing a tax system that exploits the poor for the benefit of the rich.
Pointing fingers specifically at businessman Adani, Gandhi alleged that valuable land in Dharavi is being handed over to him, while asserting that India's tax policy allows the wealthy to evade their fair share.
Gandhi took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, criticizing his extravagant travels and highlighting the hardships faced by the marginalized, including Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, and Other Backward Classes, who remain underrepresented in government institutions.
