Rahul accuses Modi of destroying informal economy

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the Modi government of destroying the informal sector of the economy and trying to enslave it. He charged that the government wants to break this sector and called upon the entire country to unite and fight against this.

He cited demonetisation, “wrong” GST and the lockdown as three examples of government’s attempt to destroy the informal sector, that provides 90 per cent jobs to people. “The BJP government has attacked the informal structure. There is an attempt to turn you into a slave,” he charged.

 “The BJP government has been attacking the informal sector over the past 6 years. I am giving you three massive examples right now — Demonetisation, wrong GST and Lockdown,” he said in a new video series on the economy. “Don’t think the lockdown was unplanned. Don’t think it was done at the last minute. The aim of these three decisions was to destroy our informal sector,” he alleged.
