Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Modi government on Tuesday for its economic policies, stating that true development occurs when all sections of society progress. He highlighted the importance of a fair business environment, an equitable tax system, and increased incomes for workers as key components of real progress.

The truth of Modiji's developed India: Your hard work, whose profit? The country's economy is running with the sweat and blood of all of you, but are you getting your fair share in it? Just think: The share of the manufacturing sector in the economy has fallen to its lowest level in 60 years. Due to this, people are struggling to find employment, Rahul Gandhi said in a post X.

The harmful GST and the burden of income tax have made life miserable for the poor and the middle class, while corporate loans are being waived off. Due to the skyrocketing inflation, now not only the poor but also the salaried class is forced to take loans to fulfill their needs.

On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi announced the launch of a 'White T-shirt Movement' to advocate for the rights of the masses, accusing the Narendra Modi government of neglecting the poor. Gandhi made the announcement in a post on X, encouraging people to join the movement. The Congress party has been relentlessly criticizing the government for its economic management, asserting that rising prices, declining private investment, and stagnant wages are severely affecting ordinary citizens.
