Rahul Gandhi Blasts BJP's 'No Engine' Governance in Uttar Pradesh

Rae Bareli Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticized BJP's governance in Uttar Pradesh, calling it 'engine-less' and a failure in tackling issues like unemployment and inflation. He accused the central government of harmful policies like demonetization, excessive privatization, and failing to support small businesses, advocating for increased employment opportunities under a Congress regime.

Rae Bareli Congress MP Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp critique against the BJP on Friday, dismissing its 'double-engine government' narrative for Uttar Pradesh as misleading and ineffective.

Gandhi pointedly criticized the state government for neglecting critical issues such as unemployment and inflation. He accused the central administration of pursuing privatisation strategies detrimental to public welfare and small businesses. Highlighting successes in states governed by Congress, such as Karnataka and Telangana, Gandhi argued for a switch in governance to spur job growth.

Further, he attacked the government's policies of privatising education and healthcare, asserting that these moves made essential services largely inaccessible. Gandhi highlighted the growing economic disparity under BJP rule and urged comparisons between BJP and Congress-governed states, promoting Congress as a beacon for employment and infrastructure solutions.
