NEW DELHI: Opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has shared a video of his visit to his local barber where the latter tells him about his struggles.
Taking to his social media handle on X, Rahul Gandhi said that the barber Ajit’s four words ‘Kuch Nahi Bachta Hai’ speak the story of every hard-working poor and middle-class person of India today.
“These four words of Ajit Bhai and his tears tell the story of every hard-working poor and middle-class person of India today. From barbers to cobblers, potters to carpenters — falling incomes and rising inflation have robbed those who work with their hands of their dreams of having their shops, houses and even self-respect”, said Rahul Gandhi.
“What is needed today are modern solutions and new schemes that will increase income and bring back savings to homes. And, a society where talent gets its due and every step of hard work takes you up the ladder of success”, said the post from Rahul Gandhi.
“कुछ नहीं बचता है!”
अजीत भाई के ये चार शब्द और उनके आसूं आज भारत के हर मेहनतकश गरीब और मध्यमवर्गीय की कहानी बयां कर रहे हैं।
नाई से लेकर मोची, कुम्हार से लेकर बढ़ई – घटती आमदनी और बढ़ती महंगाई ने हाथ से काम करने वालों से अपनी दुकान, अपना मकान और स्वाभिमान तक के अरमान छीन लिए… pic.twitter.com/1gYGdui2ll
