Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday reiterated his accusation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was partial to the country’s richest industrialists and promised that his party would focus on the poorest sections through NYAY, a minimum income guarantee scheme.

At a rally here, Mr. Gandhi highlighted the importance of NYAY in “remonetising” the economy, which he said was shocked by the 2016 demonetisation. “NYAY will jump-start the Indian economy like a vehicle that is started by a key,” he said.

Mr. Gandhi also accused the Centre of providing large-scale benefits to businessmen such as Anil Ambani, Mehul Choksi and Nirav Modi, while neglecting the poorest sections.
