Gandhi told the rally that he had received complaints from Jammu and Kashmir that the apple business had been hit.”In Himachal, the apple business goes to Adani,” he alleged while raising the issue of farmers not getting the right price for their crops.”The whole planning is done for 10-15 people,” he claimed.Gandhi alleged the debt of farmers would not be waived and they would not get crop MSP but the Rs 16 lakh crore-debt of 25 billionaires will be waived, he alleged.Referring to the allegations of sexual harassment made by women wrestlers last year, Gandhi claimed the accused was being protected.Talking about the Congress’ poll promises, he said Rs 2,000 will be given to women per month and cooking gas cylinders will be given at Rs 500.Two lakh vacancies in government departments will be filled, he said, adding farmers will be given guaranteed crop MSP and houses will be built for the poor.”This fight is not for Haryana. It is a fight for the country. It is a fight to save the Constitution,” he said.Accusing the BJP of attacking the Constitution, Gandhi said, “All (government) institutions are handed over to the RSS people and the whole control is of Nagpur.””They are running the country. They have their own people in the Election Commission, bureaucracy, media and intelligence services,” he alleged.About the caste census, Gandhi said, “We want to know how many Dalits, tribals and backwards are there in the country and how many poor belong to the general category.”He claimed that there was not a single Dalit or OBC person in the management of 250 big business firms in the country.Ninety people (secretaries) run the government of whom only three are Dalits while the community constitute 15 per cent of the country’s population, Gandhi told the rally.”This is the truth. That is why we said the caste census will be conducted at the national level. I have said before, whether Narendra Modi does it or not, I will get it passed in the same House,” he added.
