Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi addresses an election rally in Jammu. During the meeting, he touched on issues such as statehood, taxation and goods and services tax of Jammu and Kashmir. Rahul Gandhi said, “In the history of India, many Union Territories have become states, but for the first time a state has become a Union Territory and that is what happened in Jammu and Kashmir. This has had a huge impact on Jammu and Kashmir It is an injustice to the people of Kashmir.” “Your democratic rights have been taken away. “
“Once our government is established…”
Rahul further said, We think you will restore statehood before the elections. It was the right thing to do, but now we want you to get your democratic rights as soon as possible. This has never happened in Indian history and it should not happen to anyone. We will grant you statehood as soon as our government is formed in Jammu and Kashmir.
Rahul Gandhi said, “Jammu is the central hub here, which connects Kashmir’s commerce and production to the entire country, but by ending the role of this central hub, the BJP government has broken the MSMEs and businesses here The backbone of the home. Until the MSMEs in Jammu and Kashmir gain a foothold, there will be no job creation here.”

“GST is a weapon against small industries”
Rahul Gandhi further said that today the government of the country is campaigning for billionaires like Adani and Ambani. GST is a weapon against small and medium industries in Jammu and Kashmir. The fact is that demonetisation and the wrongful GST destroyed millions of businesses in India.
