GDP crashing and BJP looting India: Rahul Gandhi


New Delhi, Jun 11 (IANS): On the day when the Congress is protesting against fuel price hike across the country, former party president Rahul Gandhi attacked the government for looting the country.

In a tweet on Friday he said, "GDP crashing, Unemployment soaring, Fuel prices skyrocketing. In how many more ways is #BJPLootingIndia?"

Hundreds of Congress workers on Friday staged protests at several petrol pumps across the national capital over the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel.

Several senior Congress leaders including KC Venugopal, former Union Minister Ajay Maken, Delhi Congress chief Chaudhary Anil Kumar participated in the protest at several locations.

Speaking to the media, Venugopal who is Congress general secretary (organisation) said, "When the UPA government was in power, tax on petrol and diesel was Rs 9.20."

"Now it is Rs 32 and we demand the government to rollback the excise duty hike on petrol-diesel," he said.

He said that fuel should come under the purview of GST.

The Congress leaders brought a horse cart to highlight their protest over the rise in fuel prices across the country.

The price of petrol has crossed Rs 100 per litre in several parts of the country while the price of diesel also saw a massive increase as it selling at over Rs 85 a litre in several areas.

The Congress leaders demanded the rollback of the hike in the fuel prices.

    Yes its your BJP govt’s inability to create jobs. Only 3% of population are working and paying taxes now compared to many fold during UPA which bumped GDP to world record.

    Give a visit to all those who hold large cultivatable lands and don't pay a Rupee in tax even though the income is @ 30,000/- per MONTH ! Upon that hold BPL card and reap all benefits the government is offering. Then come back and explain where should your 3% actually be. Well, now don't blame Indira Gandhi for making the Farm Laws. Her intention was to uplift then peasant/bonded farmers. Modi had grand seven years to change it, from the time he sensed that the economy is sliding. Appoint educated Finance Ministers - not those who don't know peoples' pain upon rising onion price.

    Deshbhakt, Mangalore . GDP fell down because it was kept unstable by the previous governement by not providing enough growth in economy for its industries and its people. It will increase once transportation, communication, manufacturing sectors profit in the coming years. why do you think Modi is talking about make in India, new faster transportation, more imports, startups,etc

    Joel, are you expecting me to believe that the GDP that was 8.5% upon handing over the government in May 2014, fell off detaching it's stem like a rotten jackfruit in Dec. 2019 ?? Common man, I mentioned about 2019 Dec., not 2014 December. What did MODI Government do during it's entire term from May 2014 to May 2015 ? Roasting 'Pelattari' ??? How long you want the previous government's savings to last ? Till 2024 ?? You are as stupid and brainless as the PM whom you are protecting !

    Just google. Also see India’s GDP beginning of 2014 and its steady decline after BJP took office till Dec 31, 2019 just before covid. Don’t forget to thank me and admit your failure.

    GDP will be up and running once the lockdown is lifted in the country. GDP is just falling because there are less consumers in the market due to corona.

    Joel, Corona, Lockdown, and all is happening now, i.e. 2020-21, not since 2014. But the GDP crashed to minus-1 (-1) in Dec. 2019. Do you have a knowledge about it ? And if you do, what is your explanation to that fall ??
