"Farmers and Soldiers Forgotten While Rich Get Richer": Congress Chief Slams BJP

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on the BJP government during a rally in Hisar district's Hansi Assembly segment, highlighting what he described as a growing divide between the government's treatment of wealthy industrialists and ordinary citizens.

RSS and BJP's Divisive Politics Under Fire

Kharge drew a sharp contrast between Congress's unity-focused approach and what he termed as RSS's divisive agenda. He pointed out that while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi undertook the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and Manipur to Mumbai, Prime Minister Modi hadn't even visited troubled Manipur. The Congress chief emphasized that RSS and BJP leadership lack farmer representation, suggesting a disconnect with agricultural communities. 

Farmers' Issues Take Center Stage

In his address, Kharge highlighted the stark difference in financial policies between the UPA and current governments. He revealed that while the Congress-led UPA government had waived ₹72,000 crore in farmer loans, the BJP government allegedly wrote off ₹16 lakh crore for wealthy industrialists. The Congress president also paid tribute to the 750 farmers who lost their lives during the farmers' movement, criticizing the implementation of GST on agricultural products. 

Promises and Commitments for Haryana's Future 

Looking ahead, Kharge made several significant promises, including upgrading Hansi subdivision to district status once Congress returns to power. He committed to protecting reservation rights, emphasizing their necessity until social inequality and untouchability are eliminated. The Congress president also criticized the Agniveer scheme, contrasting it with Congress's traditional support for permanent military positions with pension benefits.
