In the political arena of New Delhi, Rahul Gandhi, a prominent figure in the Congress party, directed his criticism towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the recent occasion of Sunday. He remarked upon the BJP’s meticulous scrutiny of monetary transactions purportedly received from affluent individuals associated with the transportation sector, while affirming his party’s commitment to conducting a comprehensive caste survey aimed at ensuring societal parity. Gandhi’s response was prompted by Modi’s insinuations regarding the Congress allegedly accepting financial contributions clandestinely transported in commercial vehicles linked to prominent industrialists such as Adani and Ambani.
Through a statement shared on an unspecified platform denoted by ‘X’, Gandhi articulated, “Over the past decade, they have meticulously tallied the monetary denominations sourced from individuals identified as ‘tempo wale billionaires’. In contrast, our approach involves peering into the societal fabric via a ‘caste census’, thereby advocating for a more equitable distribution across all strata.” Accompanying his declaration, he disseminated a promotional material underscoring the party’s stance on the contentious issue of caste-based enumeration.
Emphasizing the need for official scrutiny, Gandhi and his cohorts within the Congress party have advocated for a formal investigation by agencies such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to ascertain the veracity of allegations implicating Adani and Ambani in the illicit transfer of funds. Additionally, the Congress has called upon the Prime Minister to elucidate his stance on the prospect of conducting a comprehensive socio-economic survey. As articulated in the party’s manifesto, they have pledged to undertake a nationwide initiative encompassing a comprehensive assessment of socio-economic parameters alongside a meticulous enumeration of caste demographics, with the objective of delineating the prevailing socio-economic landscape.
