Rahul Gandhi declared on Saturday that the underprivileged and impoverished segments of society would ultimately topple Narendra Modi's "Gujarat model," which involved deceiving the populace to enable corporate looting that had spread throughout the nation.

During his Nyay Yatra, Rahul addressed a group in Bharuch and asked, "Have you seen how a jeb-katra (pickpocket) works? One diverts your focus, while the other embezzles your funds. The prime minister's role is to deflect attention, and Adani comes up from behind to steal your money. Amit Shah has a lathi handy to make sure no one causes any trouble. The Gujarat model is that.


The Election Commission forbade Rahul from using phrases like "jeb-katra" a few days ago since he had previously used them to justify the corporate loot. However, as the audience erupted in laughter, the former president of Congress employed the "jeb-katra" metaphor once more. "Yehi to hai model Gujarati. Indeed, Yahan shuru hua tha, desh mein faila diya inhone. Isko roka jayega toe yahin jayega. Is rokega? Gareeb, Kisan, Dalit, Adivasi, pichhde rokenge — aaplog rokoge. Oh my goodness, how foolish you are! (They began this here and disseminated it throughout the nation). Thus, this needs to end right now. Who is going to put an end to it? Backwards will, farmers, Dalits, tribal people, and the impoverished. And you hear me out—this needs to end).

Rahul went into detail about how, in addition to plunging into the water and piloting a seaplane, Modi diverted people's attention by bringing up unrelated topics, slamming dishes, and flashing the flashlight on his cellphone. He maintained that the development that is taking place today is "Vikas," or development intended for a very tiny population, and that the true problems are social justice, unemployment, prices, rising economic disparity, and subversive schemes like Agniveer.

"We have seen 70 years after Independence," he declared. Let's take a social X-ray now to determine the exact nature of the ailment. Remember that the caste census will provide us with facts, both social and financial, and only then will India's real politics begin. Today, over 90% of the population, which is made up of OBCs, Dalits, Adivasis, and minorities, is underrepresented in business, bureaucracy, private hospitals, colleges, and universities. Not a single member of the Dalit, tribal, OBC, or minority group appears on the list of top contractors in Gujarat.

The Congress discussed a basic income guarantee in 2019, but Rahul was the only one who concentrated on promoting the idea. Rahul has decided to focus on the caste census at every gathering and engagement in an effort to disseminate the word far and wide this time. Even though he discussed it during the most recent Assembly polls, the concept did not pique people's interest. However, Nyay Yatra altered the conversation, making even representatives discuss it.
