In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Wednesday that those who call themselves ‘deshbhakt’ are scared of the ‘X-ray’ of caste census and asserted that no force can stop it, as PTI reported.
While addressing the ‘Samajik Nyay Sammelan’ in Delhi, Gandhi stated that it is his life’s mission to ensure justice for the 90 percent of the population who have suffered injustice.
“Caste census is not politics for me, it is my life’s mission, and I will not leave it. No power can stop the caste census. As soon as the Congress government comes, we will first conduct a caste census. This is my guarantee,” he said, as per ANI.
Gandhi also highlighted that the Congress manifesto aims to provide relief to 90 per cent of Indians by reclaiming a portion of the Rs 16 lakh crore provided as loan waivers to big businessmen. Reacting to Congress’s manifesto, Gandhi asserted that it had made the PM panic, labeling it as a revolutionary manifesto.
Earlier in the day, in a post on X, Gandhi accused PM Modi of waiving off loans worth Rs 16 lakh crore for his billionaire friends, and said the country will never forgive him for this “crime.”
He remarked that this money could have been utilized to alleviate the suffering of Indians but instead was spent on promoting the interests of individuals such as the ‘Adanis’.

“Narendra Modi has waived off the loans of his billionaire friends amounting to Rs 1,60,00,00,00,00,000 i.e. 16 lakh crore rupees. With this much money: 16 crore youth could have got jobs of Rs 1 lakh per year, by giving Rs 1 lakh per year to 16 crore women, the lives of their families could have been changed. Countless suicides could have been prevented by waiving off the loans of 10 crore farmer families,” he wrote in the post.
“The entire country could have been provided gas cylinders for just Rs 400 for 20 years. The entire expenses of the Indian Army could have been borne for 3 years. Education up to graduation could have been made free for every youth from Dalit, tribal, and backward society,” the former Congress chief said.

Accusing that the funds that could have alleviated the suffering of ‘Indians’ were diverted to bolster the interests of figures like the ‘Adanis,’ he proclaimed that the nation will never pardon Narendra Modi for this transgression.
“Now the situation will change – Congress will run the government for the progress of every Indian,” Gandhi said.
