Deve Gowda criticizes Rahul Gandhi for his promise to redistribute wealth.

In a recent press conference held in Bengaluru, former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda expressed his disapproval of Rahul Gandhi's "wealth redistribution promise". The 90-year-old leader, who heads the Janata Dal (JD), mocked the Congress party's manifesto and stated that only a party with no chance of coming to power would make such lofty promises.

Gowda went on to criticize the Congress party's agenda, claiming that they want to turn the country "upside down" and are willing to do anything to come to power. He specifically targeted Rahul Gandhi's plan to conduct a wealth survey and redistribute the wealth, comparing him to a Maoist leader. The former PM also took offense to Gandhi's suggestion that the economic reforms brought about by PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh were wrong, as they had greatly contributed to the nation's prosperity.

Bringing up points from the Congress manifesto, Gowda questioned the feasibility of their proposal to create 30 lakh new central government jobs. He pointed out that during his tenure as the country's leader, there were only 40 lakh sanctioned jobs, making it impossible to add 30 lakh new jobs overnight. He also raised concerns about the practicality of employing these people and how much they would be paid.

The JD supremo further questioned the practicality of Gandhi's ideas, stating that only someone with no real-world experience would make such promises. He also called out P Chidambaram, the chairman of the manifesto committee, asking if he too agrees with Gandhi's "immature economic ideas".

In conclusion, Gowda made it clear that he does not believe in the Congress party's promises and criticized their willingness to make unrealistic commitments in order to gain power. He urged the public to think carefully before casting their votes and not be swayed by empty promises. This statement by the former PM highlights the ongoing political debate and the importance of making informed decisions for the betterment of the country.
