He accused the Modi government of waiving the loans of billionaires and ignoring the farmers. Rahul also said that GST harms the poor and backward classes more, while big industrialists get relief from it.

INDC Network: Maharashtra: Rahul Gandhi reveals: Dalits and backward classes are not getting a place in India
Three black laws: farmer protests and decisions in favour of billionaires
Rahul Gandhi, in his speech, questioned the three agricultural laws and said that these laws made in the name of the benefit of farmers actually brought the farmers on the road. He said that if these laws were in the interest of farmers, then why would they protest? On the contrary, the government waived off the loan of Rs 10 lakh crore to industrialists, but did not show any interest in waiving the loan of farmers. He also questioned that when the government is not actually helping the farmers, then how can it talk about their interests.
Rahul Gandhi also took a dig at the media on this issue, in which he said that the problems of farmers, laborers or unemployed youth are not shown prominently in the media. Instead, big industrialists and their lifestyles are shown in a glorified manner.
Burden of GST and inequality in government budget
Talking about GST, Rahul Gandhi said that the burden of this tax system actually falls more on the poor and backward classes, while its impact on industrialists is minimal. He gave an example and told that a poor person pays GST on the goods of his daily needs, but it is not a burden for billionaires. Referring to the budget, he said that the officials who decide on the use of the money that comes from the public's taxes are very few, most of whom come from the upper class. According to Rahul Gandhi, the representation of backward, Dalit and tribal classes is negligible among these officials.
He said that if the government really wants to respect the backward, Dalit and tribal classes, then it will have to ensure the participation of these classes in budget and policy making. This should be the real equality and the real objective of GST.
Questions raised on caste census and reservation limit
Rahul Gandhi also demanded caste census in his speech. He said that this will reveal how much contribution and status each community actually has, and who is getting how much assistance from the government. Rahul Gandhi also said that caste census will also make it clear what is the representation of different classes in government and non-government institutions. Along with this, he talked about removing the 30 percent limit on reservation, so that more and more people can get benefits and the message of real equality can be given.
Rahul Gandhi argued that caste census will give a clear picture of social justice in the country and it will solve the problems of the poor and backward classes. He appealed to the government to raise this demand in Parliament and implement it, so that a step can be taken towards eliminating social inequality.
