"What Rahul Gandhi said in Texas is true": Congress leader Udit Raj supports LoP's 'unemployment' remarks

"Because of Artificial Intelligence, employment is decreasing even more. So the monopoly should be implemented again. Earlier, there were Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP). In China, unemployment has almost ended. Even in big countries, there is no unemployment. The situation in India is very bad. What Rahul Gandhi said in Texas is true," Udit Raj said.

"People of RSS ideology are in every department, including HoD, Vice Chancellors. RSS is not only imposing its ideology but also wants to remove OBC, SC, ST from the entire education system," he added.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore said that the BJP lives on lies, adding that when the truth is explained in detail, the BJP will be disturbed.

"When the truth is explained in detail, the BJP will be disturbed. We all know that the BJP lives on lies...RSS wants the women of India to be in the kitchen and at home only...They don't want the women to be equal to the men of India. Rahul Gandhi has explained that we as members of the Congress party believe that equal opportunities should be given to men and women... What is wrong with it?... I feel that the RSS mindset is the BJP's mindset but the BJP can have any kind of mask but their real DNA is the RSS DNA. Their anger can be understood but we can humbly say to them that we respect your views but respect our views also," Tagore said.

Earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi talked about issues faced by the youth due to unemployment and said that the act of production creates jobs. But India organises consumption, which is a reason for worry.

"The West has an employment problem. India has an employment problem... But many countries in the world don't have an employment problem. China certainly doesn't have an employment problem. Vietnam doesn't have an employment problem. So there are places on the planet that are not struggling with unemployment. There's a reason. If you look at the United States in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, they were the centre of global production. Anything that was made, cars, washing machines, TVs, all made in the United States. Production moved from the United States. It went to Korea, it went to Japan. Eventually, it went to China. If you look today, China is dominating global production... So what has happened? The West, America, Europe, and India have given up on the idea of production and they've handed it to China. The act of production creates jobs. What we do, what the Americans do, what the West does, is we organize consumption," he said.

Rahul Gandhi further said that the RSS believes India is one idea and Congress believes that India is a multiplicity of ideas.

"The RSS believes that India is one idea and we believe that India is a multiplicity of ideas and we believe by the way, very much like the United States, we believe that everybody should be allowed to participate. We believe that everybody should be allowed to dream. Everybody should be given space regardless of their caste, language, religion, tradition, history. This is the fight and the fight was crystallized in the election when millions of people in India clearly understood that the Prime Minister of India is attacking the Constitution of India because what I am saying to you, union of states, respect to languages, respect to religions, respect to traditions, respect to castes. This is all in the Constitution," he said.

Rahul Gandhi arrived in Dallas, Texas, on Sunday for his three-day US visit. The Congress MP was welcomed at the airport by Sam Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, and members of the Indian diaspora. (ANI)
