Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Share Stage for First Time After Announcement of Elections

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday called the NYAY scheme a surgical strike on poverty and asserted that the proposed minimum income guarantee programme was not populist but based on sound economics.

Gandhi also sought to allay apprehensions of the middle-class saying he guaranteed that the salaried people will have to pay not a single paisa from their pockets to fund the Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY) scheme.

Addressing a rally in Bihar’s Samastipur where he shared the stage, for the first time after general elections were announced, with RJD heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav, Gandhi also deplored the insulting treatment meted out to Lalu Prasad, the jailed supremo of his alliance partner and warned the BJP-led coalition of a backlash in the polls, reported PTI.

At the rally, Tejashwi was quoted by NDTV as saying, “Please make Rahul ji Prime Minister as not only does he talk about the poor, he also doesn’t have any problem meeting them, unlike our Prime Minister Modi, who has time to attend Priyanka Chopra’s reception but can’t visit a poor man’s home.”
