“India’s agricultural sector will be devastated. Modi sold off India in the trade deal with the US. Our farmers will be impacted as we have small land holdings in India, unlike the US where farming is mechanised with thousands of acres of land and huge produce… As per the trade deal, the agricultural sector in India has been opened up to America. Farmers in America will be able to sell their farm produce in India, like almonds, soya, jute and several other products in India,” Gandhi alleged.
Gandhi claimed that the names of PM Modi, several BJP leaders and ministers have been found in the Epstein files. “The key (chabi) of the Epstein files is in Trump’s hands and he controls Modi,” Gandhi alleged.

Politics of Hatred
“Ambedkar ji, Gandhi ji and Nehru ji gave the Constitution to the country. But today, BJP and RSS’ hatred-filled ideology is destroying the Constitution. They do ‘votechori’ and try to destroy democracy. Our ideology is to spread non-violence and love,” Rahul Gandhi said, while addressing a public rally in Raniganj, once a bastion of the Congress and Priyaranjan Das Munshi. Gandhi also addressed rallies in Malda and Murshidabad, known to be Congress strongholds.
He slammed BJP and Modi for creating a new political system. “Modi has kept his entire funds with Adani. When a political need arises, Adani provides funds, money for campaign and media support for Modi. It should be called Modani company,” Gandhi alleged.

Attacks Trinamool Congress
Rahul Gandhi also slammed the Trinamool Congress for the scams, corruption and syndicates and said TMC is no different from BJP. “Common people’s money was cheated in the Saradha Chit fund scam where 17 lakh investor’s funds worth Rs 19,000 crore was lost. In the Rose Valley scam, the funds of 31 lakh investors were siphoned. Then, there is a coal smuggling scam, illegal mining and ‘goonda tax’ collected from transporters and traders by Trinamool,” Gandhi said.
“The Centre has not given Rs 2 lakh crore which was due for MGNREGA and then attacked democracy through SIR. If Modi is “corrupt”, TMC is not far behind. There is no accountability. The Congress is against the politics of religion. We don’t pit people of one language, religion and community against another,” he said.
