Rahul Gandhi Accuses Modi Government of Favoring Monopolies
Rahul Gandhi, a leader from the Congress party, said that the Modi government is helping big companies like Adani and Ambani to become too powerful.
He thinks this is bad for small businesses, like small ice cream shops, because they have to pay too many taxes and fees.
These small businesses can't compete with the big companies, and many are closing down.
Gandhi met with some of these small ice cream shop owners and heard about their problems.
He wants the government to support small and medium businesses instead, so that more people can get jobs and have affordable products.
He believes that the government is making it hard for small businesses to survive, which is not good for the country's economy or its young people.
Rahul Gandhi accused the Modi government of creating monopolies in various sectors, favoring large industrialists over small businesses.
He met with small and medium ice cream manufacturers who are struggling due to high taxes, complex GST, and increased fees.
Gandhi alleged that the government deliberately excluded ice cream from the GST composition scheme, making it harder for small businesses to operate.
He proposed putting the economic reins back into the hands of MSMEs to create jobs and support the country's progress.
Gandhi claimed that the BJP is creating monopolies everywhere, with Adani and Ambani being the largest beneficiaries, which is weakening the country's structure and causing unemployment among Indian youth.
