Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on October 16 unleashed a scathing critique on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, accusing them of orchestrating economic havoc with demonetization and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

During a public meeting in Mizoram’s capital, Rahul Gandhi said, “GST is designed to destroy small and medium businesses, it is designed to weaken farmers of India. All of you know what happened with demonetization, it was a ridiculous idea thought up by the Prime Minister of our country.”
On a different note, the Congress leader lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the strife in Manipur, claiming that the BJP had fragmented the once-unified state into two.
“Some months ago, I went to Manipur. The idea of Manipur has been destroyed by the BJP. It is no longer a state, but two states. People have been murdered, women have been molested and babies have been killed but the Prime Minister doesn’t find it important to travel there,” Rahul Gandhi said.
