With a large number of supporters, former Congress National Chief, Rahul Gandhi reached the State Capital on Monday in the State under his ‘Bharat Jodo Naya Yatra’. Addressing a rally at historic Shahid Maidan in Ranchi and roared that the mother of all industries- Heavy Industries Limited will not be sold.

Addressing the huge crowd in the rally, Gandhi attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central Government and said that it is trying to sell HEC to its trader friend for their benefit. He asked why injustice is being done to HEC.

“The Central Government wants HEC to stop working and it should be sold to Adani. This should also be privatized. The Modi Government wants to make HEC people unemployed. But Congress will not allow this to happen. We will not allow Adani's name to be mentioned in HEC. Narendra Modi and his Government are gradually destroying public enterprises. Wherever I go, I see PSU people standing with posters in their hands. Be it BHEL, HAL or HEC, all are gradually being handed over to Adani,” said Gandhi

Attacking the Central Government on Tribal, Backward and Dalit issue the party Leader said that this is not privatization but theft from Dalit, Tribal, Backward and Minority. “Get the list of Adani's companies. Look at the management team. Not one backward will be found. No tribal will be found. The entire capital is being handed over to one person. Roads, power bridges, energy, everything was handed over to Adani. This one person is getting all the defence contracts. The PM of India is pinning everyone to this one person. There is a thinking behind how many backward people there are in this Country.

“Go to any private company and ask how many backward people there are, you will not find anyone. 90 people run the government of India. These 90 people spend the entire budget. How backward they are. There are only 3 OBCs. Only OBCs take the decision of Rs 5. Dalits have 0 per cent stake in their hands. You do not have any stake in the government or corporate. No one is left behind in private universities and colleges. Dalits and backward people are not involved in decision making anywhere. Backwards, Dalits and OBCs are being made contract labour. They have no stake anywhere. We have to find out what their number is. 50 percent are OBC. 8 per cent are tribals. Dalits and minorities are only 15 percent. A hungry tribal was pushing 200 kg of coal on a bicycle. I saw with my own eyes. Our first step will be to conduct a caste census in the entire country. We will get the data. There will be no reduction in reservation for Dalit tribals. I guarantee it,” said Gandhi

At the end of his speech Gandhi said that the more hatred increases, the more unemployment increases, the more Adani's money increases. “They make you fight. Then your money is put in Adani's pocket. Why should your Government be removed here because they are not able to accept that there is a tribal government in Jharkhand. They are attacking democracy. India will never let the voice of democracy be suppressed,” he added.
