Jaipur: Rahul Gandhi has a simple formula to eradicate poverty in India.
If voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the Congress government will give women in poor households Rs 1 lakh every year, Rahul promised.
“The Congress government will transfer Rs 1 lakh (in a year) to the bank account of one woman of every poor household in the country… If you are below the poverty line then every year, Rs 1 lakh (Rs 8,500 per month) khatakhat khatakhat aata rahega aur ek jhatke se hum Hindustan se gareebi ko mita denge (The money will keep coming to your accounts and poverty will be erased in one fell swoop),” the Congress leader said at a rally in Rajasthan’s Anupgarh.
Highlighting the promise made in the party’s poll manifesto, Rahul added that the money will continue to be transferred to the account of one woman of a BPL family until they come out of the poverty line.
Taking a hit out at Narendra Modi, Rahul said, “PM Modi waived loans of 15-20 industrialists. That money could have been used to pay MGNREGA wages for 24 years.”
