Addressing an election meeting in Kalpetta, the former Congress president said that his party has a solution to the problem of economic crisis.
“To start Kerala’s economy, we are proposing an idea called NYAY. It’ll not only help poor people, it’ll start Kerala’s economy and start production of jobs. NYAY is Rs 6000 a month into all of Kerala’s poorest people’s bank accounts”, he said.
The Wayanad MP said his party believes that “if you want to start an economy you have to put money into poor people’s hands, into the common man’s hands into into millions and millions of people’s hands”.
“If you want to start an economy, you want to create jobs, the first thing you have to do is inject money into the economy”, he said.
Reaching out to farming community in the predominantly rural areas of the hill district, he said “there are three new criminal agricultural laws that the Prime Minister has passed. We have to defend against it”.
Rahul Gandhi said for him as the MP of Wayanad, the most important thing is to reclaim the idea of Wayanad.
“This place has a global significance. You used to be the spice capital of the world, there is no reason you should not be the spice capital of the world again,” he said.
He noted that the issues of buffer zone, medical college, man animal conflict, are critical for future of Wayanad.
“We cannot get these done unless we have a government in Kerala,” Rahul said seeking votes for party candidates.
