Rahul Gandhi while addressing a rally in Kargil alleged that BJP wants to take away the land of the Ladakhi people and give it to the Adani group. He further mentioned that because of this reason, Ladhakhi people are not given proper representation by the BJP since they will not be able to take back the land from locals.
“BJP people know that if you were given representation then they will not be able to take away your land, this is all about land, they (BJP) want to take away your land and give it to Adani so that he can set up his plant, but don’t share the benefits with you. But we will never let this happen” he said.
The former Congress president also mentioned China’s interest in Ladakh in his speech. He said, “Ladakh is a strategic location and one thing is very clear that China has taken away India’s land. It is sad that the PM in the opposition meeting said that not even an inch of Ladakh has been taken by China.
Stressing on his interaction with the locals and migrants from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh he said, “When I interacted with the labourers who came here from Bihar and UP and asked them about how they feel here, they said that they get full support and cooperation from Ladakhi people and they help them whenever required. So this is in your DNA and you have the same ideology which is of Congress party”
While coming to Kargil on Thursday evening Gandhi interacted with a group of people from Padum to Kargil as a part of his last leg in a week-long tour of Ladakh and shared pictures of his interaction with the people on Facebook.
The visit to the Union Territory that started as a two-day trip on 17 August got extended till August 25. Earlier on Monday he had interacted with Army veterans in the main market here. During his visit, he also paid tribute to his father and former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, on his 79th birth anniversary from the banks of Pangong Lake in Ladakh on August 20.
