He alleged that rights of tribals are being snatched away. “Congress wants to increase their participation in all sectors, which is why we demand caste-based census and economic survey,” he added.

“The poor, farmers and labourers will get the same amount of money that the PM has given to 22 billionaires,” he said.
He alleged that PM Narendra Modi implemented the “wrong policies” of demonetisation and GST to benefit billionaires, and this ruined the cotton industry and small and medium traders of the region. Modi’s promise of giving jobs to 2 crore youth was false, the former Congress chief said.
“In the last 10 years, you (the people) have been given unemployment, tribals are migrating out to other states, farmers were not given the price of their crops, women were not helped, but the loan of Rs 16 lakh crore of 22 richest people was waived,” he said.

“Congress had returned your rights to you by bringing PESA law, land acquisition and tribal bill,” Rahul added.
Rahul reiterated the Congress manifesto promise of giving Rs 1 lakh per year to one woman of every family till they rise above the poverty line. “We are bringing ‘Pehli Naukri Pakki’ scheme for young graduates and diploma holders, under which every youth will get training and will also be given Rs 1 lakh per year, and will be given a permanent job on doing good work',” Rahul said, adding that 30 lakh government posts will be filled if Congress forms the govt.
“Tribals, Dalits and backward people have no participation in the country. We want to change this. We want your people in government, media, public sector, big companies.
Therefore, we have decided that we are going to conduct a caste census so that you will know what is your population and what is your participation in the country. This is a revolutionary work which will change the politics of India,” Rahul added.
Rahul also talked about doubling the income of ASHA and Anganwadi workers and increasing MNREGA wages to Rs 400 per day.
“Narendra Modi started the contract system in public sector and turned youths into bonded labourers. They were thrown out of job at one’s whim, but we will end this system and give only permanent jobs,” Rahul said, adding: “We will make a law for MSP and give farmers fair prices.”
