Hatred is Rising During BJP Regime, Claims Rahul Gandhi at Halla Bol Rally

New Delhi: ‘Mehangai Par Halla Bol’ rally organised by the Congress to raise voice against price rise and unemployment turned out to be party president selection event. Thousands of Congress supporters who gathered in Ramlila Maidan here raised slogans of ‘Make Rahul Gandhi INC president’. 

Outside the rally venue, Ramlila Maidan, banners demanding Rahul to once again lead the party were put up by the party supporters. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury while addressing the rally referred to the posters and said, “We can see the posters ‘want Rahul Gandhi as president.’....”

As soon as Rahul Gandhi came on the dais, the crowd gave him a standing ovation and raised slogans of “Rahul Gandhi Zindabad”. 

“Rahul ji is our true leader and we have full faith in him that he will restore the glory of the Congress. He should be made the party president,” a Congress worker from Muzaffarnagar in UP said.

“Not only the Congress, Rahul Gandhi can also lead the country. He is the only leader who talks about real issues like 'mehangai' (price rise) or unemployment. He should be made the party chiefs,” said another party worker who came from Rajasthan to attend the rally. 

The ‘Mehangai Par Halla Bol’ rally also saw the presence of women, children and the elderly who braved the scorching heat and participated in the gathering to register their protest against “skyrocketing” prices of essential commodities.

मोदी जी, ये लीजिए महंगाई का पूरा ब्यौरा, आटे से लेकर, तेल, सिलेंडर, दूध, पेट्रोल, के दामों में आपने आग लगा दी है। लीटर छोड़िए, जनता की फ़िक्र कीजिए।

Addressing the anti-inflation rally, Rahul Gandhi said there is growing hatred since the BJP government came to power in the country.

“Ever since the BJP government came to power at the Centre, hatred and anger has been increasing in the country. There is pressure on institutions such as media, judiciary, Election Commission, and the government is attacking all of them,” Congress leader said.

इस जनता की आवाज़ें सुन लो,
तूफानों से टकराने का प्रण लिया है।
तानाशाहों अब खबरदार हो जाओ,
हमने तुम्हारा घमंड तोड़ने का अब प्रण किया है।।#महंगाई_पर_हल्ला_बोल_रैली pic.twitter.com/Ew3OPrMYo8
