Budget sent out Wrong message to China: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday strongly criticised the Union Budget, saying it was for one percent of the population and gave a wrong message to China by not significantly raising defence allocation.

Addressing a press conference, Mr Gandhi said the conditions in India are “dangerous” which require Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take quick action. Coming down heavily on PM Modi, Mr Gandhi alleged there was no leadership in the country.

“It (conditions) requires that the prime minister put money immediately into the hands of our people and revive the economy, it requires that he protects the small and medium businesses who give us jobs…it requires a clear message to China that ”you cannot do this with us, you cannot be sitting inside our land and expect that nothing is going to happen,” he said.
