Opposition Leader Condemns Rising Economic Inequality under BJP Rule

Debabrata Saikia, Leader of Opposition in the Assam Legislative Assembly, and Congress Legislature Party Leader, criticized the alarming rise in economic inequality in India. Saikia referred to a recent report from the World Inequality Lab, highlighting the stark disparity in wealth distribution over the past decade. He asserted that the economic policies of the BJP government have favored a select few, contradicting promises of development and reforms. Saikia echoed Rahul Gandhi’s sentiments, emphasizing that under the current government, the rights of common people are undervalued, with policies seemingly dictated by industrialists. The report, according to Saikia, serves as a damning indictment of the government’s economic agenda.
