RAIPUR: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused the Narendra Modi government of decimating the unorganised economy, comprising farmers, labourers and small businesses, in the last six years of its rule, and said the country would not be able to generate jobs in the coming period as a result of that.
Addressing via video-conferencing the foundation stone-laying ceremony of the party’s offices to be built in 22 districts headquarters of Chhattisgarh, he said although the unorganised economy generates 90 per cent of the country’s employment, the Modi government destroyed it through various moves like demonetisation and implementation of “wrong GST”.
Gandhi stressed the need to restore the balance between the organised and unorganised economies for the welfare of the country. The event was organised on the occasion of the birth anniversary of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
