Rahul Gandhi lashes out at Centre, says Modi govt has no interest in seeking truthindiaUpdated: Aug 31, 2020 13:40 ISTCongress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday released the first part of his video series attacking the Modi government for the “economic tragedy that the country is facing for the first time in 40 years.”He launched an attack on the Centre saying “asatyagrahi” (someone who doesn’t have interest in seeking truth) are blaming God for the fallout. In a video series titled ‘Arthavyavastha ki baat Rahul Gandhi ke saath’ or ‘State of the Economy with Rahul Gandhi’, the Congress leader claimed that the BJP government has attacked the informal structure of the economy and has attempted to turn people into slaves. “The lockdown wasn’t planned last minute, instead the aim of these three moves (demonetisation, GST, and lockdown) was to destroy the informal sector. As many as 40 crore people working in the informal sector may face extreme poverty, he said citing an International Labour Organization report. He claimed that the informal sector has a lot of money that the government can’t touch and so they’re trying to break the sector to extort the money.
