Digital Desk: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked the Centre over rising inflation and asserted that the government is not even listening to the poor, as he shared a video of his recent visit to the Azadpur Mandi, where he met some vegetable and fruit vendors as well as traders.
Gandhi shared the video of his interaction at the Azadpur Mandi on his social media handles.
In a tweet along with the link to his video, Gandhi said he met labourers, traders, and farmers in Azadpur Mandi to know why there is ‘mandi (slowdown) in the Mandi’.
"Jata Shankar is a laborer who has been unable to return home or see his family for more than a year due to this work. "How will he go, if he misses work, money will be deducted, and it will become more difficult to survive in this inflation," said the former Congress chief in a tweet in Hindi.
"A shopkeeper also told me that because of the losses, he has to sleep hungry two to three nights a week. Far from alleviating the poor's problems, the government is not even listening to them!" Gandhi said.
Time will change, India will unify, and the poor's tears will be wiped away, Gandhi said.
Gandhi had visited the Azadpur Mandi in the national capital on Tuesday and interacted with some vegetable and fruit vendors there.
The visit came days after he met some farmers sowing paddy in their fields in Haryana's Sonipat district and met some female farm laborers, whom he then invited to his mother's residence.
Gandhi had shared food with about 30 women farmers from Haryana, with his mother Sonia Gandhi and sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also joining them.
