At the rallies, Rahul Gandhi said the party's proposed minimum income guarantee scheme will boost the economy.

Gandhi claimed prime minister Modi had promised Rs 15 lakh in the bank accounts of all Indians and asked whether anyone present in the rally has got it.
"Chowkidar ji had also promised two crore jobs. Anyone among you got the jobs?" Gandhi asked.
He repeated the charge that Modi gave the public's money to the country's 15 richest people, and said the Congress wanted to give it to the poor.
