New Delhi, Feb 22 (Agency) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday launched a scathing attack at the ruling BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, saying that in their ‘agenda big industrialists always have been there, never been labourers.” “In the of BJP and RSS, ‘big industrialists’ always have been there, never been labourers,” Kharge said at the 33nd INTUC (Indian National Trade Union Congress) Plenary Session at Talkatora Stadium here. Kharge and his party has been attacking the BJP-led government at the Centre over Hindenburg Research report over Adani Group which had alleged that the Group had engaged in stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades.
The party has also accused the ruling dispensation of benefiting billionaire businessman Gautam Adani in the last nine years, and also ‘ protecting’ billionaire businessman Gautam Adani over the matter. He further said, “When the labour organisation became strong, the RSS formed a union against the INTUC and workers, to favour the owners because it was their agent. It was done to divide the workers. They did not want their welfare.” “Today, there is no social justice anywhere. Everyone is busy ‘exploiting’ our labourers,” Kharge claimed. The Congress president also recalled the contribution of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on the occasion. Attacking the BJP for criticising the Congress regime, ” I want to ask who has given IIT, AIIMS, ISRO….. ? Nehru ji .” In a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge said, ” The result of the thinking of Nehru ji and Babasaheb Ambedkar ji was that when in many democratic countries of the world not everyone had the right to vote, at that time everyone got the right to vote, including the owner-labourer. People became MP-MLA, PM with this right, but they say what did the Congress do.” Taking a swipe at Modi over ‘bullet train’, the Congress president said,”Where is the bullet train ? He makes such ‘false’ promises.”
