Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi who has been continuously attacking the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in particular, on Wednesday said the BJP led NDA Government has completely “destroyed the unorganised sector” which is the backbone of the Indian economy.
Rahul blamed the “sudden” nationwide lockdown imposed to check the spread of the coronavirus has devastated the people and economy of the country and hence emphasised that the government must introduce a “NYAY-like scheme” - the minimum wage social welfare scheme proposed by the Congress in its 2019 election manifesto.
“The poor, those in small and medium businesses, are daily wage earners. They eat with what they earn each day. When you (PM Modi) announced a lockdown without a notice, you attacked them. The Prime Minister said the fight will be for 21 days, the backbone of the unorganised sector broke in 21 days,” Rahul Gandhi said in his latest series of video.
