Rahul Gandhi's Call for Economic Reform: A Barber's Tale

Rahul Gandhi highlights the struggles of India's lower and middle class in the face of rising inflation and falling incomes, stressing the need for new economic programs to boost savings and incomes, following an interaction with a barber in Delhi.

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, emphasized the plight of India's lower and middle-class citizens struggling with declining incomes and growing inflation. During a recent visit to a barber shop in Delhi, he interacted with a barber named Ajit, who expressed his despair over the current economic challenges.

In a video shared on the social media platform X, Gandhi highlighted Ajit's struggles, indicating that these difficulties are representative of many, including those working as cobblers, potters, and carpenters. Gandhi pointed out that inflation and income reduction have shattered the working class's dreams of achieving personal and professional stability.
