Latest News in India: Ahead of the assembly polls in Haryana, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, the opposition leader in Lok Sabha, on Monday assured to restore the Old Pension Scheme in the State.
“We will re-implement the old pension scheme and for social security, and Rs 6000 every month will go into the bank accounts of widows, elderly people, and disabled people,” Rahul Gandhi said while addressing a rally in Ambala.
He also said that the state of Haryana would be given guaranteed MSP and women in the state would be given Rs 2000 under the Mahila Shakti Yojana.
“Under the Mahila Shakti Yojana, Rs 2000 every month in the bank accounts of women will be deposited. LPG cylinders will be given for Rs 500,” Gandhi said.
Further attacking the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government, the Congress leader said “This is not Modi ji’s government. This is Adani’s government. We do not want to have a government of individuals like Adani ji in Haryana. We want a government of farmers and the poor in Haryana.”
“Haryana government is the first step. There will be change here, but when the government comes to Delhi, I want to know how much money is going into the pockets of the poor and how much money is coming out of their pockets, and I am not going to leave this. All the small parties that are contesting polls in Haryana, are BJP’s party. Their remote control is in their hands. The fight is between BJP and Congress. It is a fight of ideology. On one side there is justice, and on the other side there is injustice,” Rahul added.
Earlier today, Congress MP Kumari Shelja had said that she was sure that the Congress would win in Haryana. “We are doing very well. We are confident we will win the Haryana elections. Wherever Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi are going, the people and the party are getting new energy,” Shelja said, speaking to the media persons.
A 90-member State Legislative Assembly of Haryana will elect its next leadership on Oct 5, and the counting process will be completed on October 8. The last general elections concluded with a decisive mandate of the BJP and had emerged as the single largest party, winning 40 seats, while Congress won 30 seats.
