Rahul Gandhi promises farm loan waivers if his party is voted to power in upcoming Gujarat assembly election

On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi paid his respect to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar at Sankalp Bhoomi and attended a prayer session.

Speaking at a rally on Tuesday, Gandhi said that with the Congress government in power in Gujarat, the party "will work for the interests of farmers, small traders and the poor. Last time, he (Modi) waived the loans of the rich. We will instead bring a loan waiver for farmers."

While BJP president Amit Shah took a dig at Rahul Gandhi while addressing a rally in Amethi, which the latter;s parliamentary constituency, Gandhi too highlighted the alleged humongous rise in turnover at the firm run by Amit Shah's son Jay.

Tweeted Gandhi, "Amazing transition from Beti Bachao to Beta Bachao,"

In a tweet through Congress Live, he said, "#ChowkidarOfIndia quiet re: #AmitShahKiLoot. Why did a wildly successful company shut in 2016 given exponential profit & unsecured loans."

Congress Live tweeted Rahul Gandhi as saying, "BJP #Gujarat Gov has a poor women's empowerment record in terms of women's enrollment in higher education."

"Job creation is India's main problem. 29550 out of 30K new jobseekers are unable to secure their livelihoods," said Rahul Gandhi.

"Exploitative contracts pervasive in all sectors. Temporary employment system feeds job insecurity," he said.

Carrying with his Navsarjan Yatra, Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally in Dabhoi, he said that it was Gujarat that gave India the 'white revolution' and leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel. If lead in the right way, the state had the potential to lead the entire nation on the path to progress, the media quoted the Congress vice president as saying.

Meanwhile,  BJP leader and former Gujarat chief minister, Anandiben Patel has demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi regarding his comment on women's participation in RSS shakhas, media reported.
