₹16 lakh crore of his “billionaire friends" while also listing how money could have been used to prevent farmer suicides, help unemployed youth and women. In an extensive post in Hindi, Rahul Gandhi suggests that ₹16 lakh crore could cover the cost of waiving farm loans and subsidising LPG cylinders at ₹400 for the entire country for at least 20 years.

Rahul Gandhi said, "Narendra Modi has waived off the loan of ₹1,60,00,00,00,00,000 i.e. ₹16 lakh crore of his billionaire friends! With this much money: 16 crore youth could have got jobs worth ₹1 lakh per year; By giving ₹1 lakh per year to 16 crore women, the lives of their families could have been changed; Countless suicides could have been prevented by waiving off the loans of 10 crore farmer families; Gas cylinders could be given to the entire country for just ₹400 for 20 years; The entire expenses of the Indian Army could be borne for 3 years; Every youth of Dalit, tribal and backward society could have got free education till graduation; The money which could have become a medicine for the pain of 'Hindustanis', was spent in making money for 'Adanis'." Ending the post with: “The country will never forgive Narendra Modi for this crime.

Now the situation will change - Congress will run the government for the progress of every Indian." PM Narendra Modi has been attacking Congress in his campaign for Lok Sabha elections, saying that the grand-old party would “distribute" the wealth, including “mangalsutras and gold of the women", among those “with more kids" if it is elected to power at the Centre. In an election rally in Rajasthan's Tonk on Tuesday, PM Modi said Congress wanted to reduce the SC, ST reservation when it was in power and give it to Muslims.
