PM provided 'maximum income guarantee' to his 15 friends:Rahul

) A day after announcing his party would ensure "minimum income guarantee" for the poor if the Congress was voted to power at the Centre, party chief Rahul Gandhi Tuesday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he has provided 'maximum income guarantee' to 15 of his friends.

"For the last five years, he has provided a maximum income guarantee to 15 of his friends. We have decided that if Narendra Modi can give maximum income guarantee to 15 rich people, we will give minimum income guarantee to every single citizen," Gandhi said.

Like MGNREGA committed right to work, like RTI committed right to information, like Food Security Bill guarantees the right to food, the Congress government is going to guarantee a minimum income to every poor Indian citizen, he told a booth-level party workers meeting here.

"We are going to give every single poor Indian direct money in his account as a guarantee," he said.

He claimed that there was no country in the world that has ever committed minimum income guarantee to their people.

Flaying the BJP-led central government's economic policies, Gandhi said if Congress was voted power, it will restructure the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Flaying the implementation of GST, Gandhi said "Modi gave a GST which was fundamentally flawed. What sort of GST is this? Nobody understands it. In 2019, we will restructure the Gabbar Singh Tax."
