'Nyay' scheme will provide a boost to economy, says Rahul
Congress president Rahul Gandhi Tuesday said the 'Nyay' scheme promised by his party will jump-start the countrys economy as people will have money in their bank accounts to spend, a power which was taken away by steps like demonetisation and the "Gabbar Singh Tax (GST)".
He also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and repeated his 'chowkidar chor hai' jibe.
"Under the Nyay scheme, 25 crore people will get Rs 6,000 per month, amounting to Rs 72,000 per year. In five years, they will get Rs 3.60 lakh in their accounts and that will give them power to purchase from the market," he said.
