During his recent parliamentary speech, the Congress leader accused the government of spreading a ‘chakravyuh’ to the people of the country. Slamming the Budget, the opposition leader said it betrayed the middle class by increasing the tax on long-term and short-term capital gains and removing the benefit of indexation.
Asking, “why the BJP leaders, ministers, farmers, youngers, and workers are terrified,?” the Congress leader said it is because of a group of six men trapping the entire country in a chakravyuha.
Explaining the mythological context of the chakravyuha, the Congress leader said chakravyuha also known as padmavyuha, a lotus-shaped formation (a BJP symbol), had been devised to trap India’s youth, women, small, and medium businesses in this century. He said six people control chakravyuha naming the Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and others.
After the session, the Congress leader took to X, noting saying, “Today a 21st century lotus-shaped Chakravyuh is trapping India and is controlled by six figures: Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Adani, Ambani, Ajit Doval, and Mohan Bhagwat.”
He said this modern Chakravyuh has trapped the youth in a Chakravyuh of unemployment and paper Leak, farmers in a Chakravyuh of debt – Middle class in a Chakravyuh of Tax, MSMEs in a Chakravyuh of Tax Terrorism, Jawans in a Chakravyuh of Agnipath and SC, ST, OBC, Minorities in a Chakravyuh of Anyay.
Explaining how the Budget trapped the people of the country, the Congress MP said that the education budget, at 2.5% it is the lowest in 20 years. “At a time when our students are suffering from widespread Paper Leaks, the FM did not deem it fit to even mention the crisis in her speech,” Rahul Gandhi said, adding that the INDIA bloc has taken the first steps to break this Chakravyuh and will continue to fight until this atmosphere of fear is replaced with Shiv ji ki Baraat.
In Kurukshetra, Abhimanyu was trapped and killed in a Chakravyuh – a formation controlled by six people, and also known as Padmavyuh for its resemblance to a lotus formation.
