On Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi leveled accusations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging the waiver of loans amounting to Rs 16 lakh crore for his Billionaire Friends, and said the country will never forgive him for this "crime".
In a Hindi post on X platform, he expressed that the enormous sum could have been utilized to alleviate the suffering of Indians but instead was directed towards promoting the interests of individuals such as the 'Adanis'.
Narendra Modi has waived off the loans of his billionaire friends amounting to Rs 1,60,00,00,00,00,000 i.e. 16 lakh crore rupees. With this much money: 16 crore youth could have got jobs of Rs 1 lakh per year, by giving Rs 1 lakh per year to 16 crore women, the lives of their families could have been changed. Countless suicides could have been prevented by waiving off the loans of 10 crore farmer families, he said.
The entire country could have been provided gas cylinders for just Rs 400 for 20 years. The entire expenses of the Indian Army could have been borne for 3 years. Education up to graduation could have been made free for every youth from Dalit, tribal and backward society. Charging that the "money which could have been used to cure the pain of 'Indians' was spent on creating hype for those like the 'Adanis'," he said the country will never forgive Narendra Modi for this crime, the former Congress chief said in his post.
