'We didn't say...': RaGa defends Congress' wealth redisrtibution agenda

• Rahul Gandhi takes a dig at Narendra Modi over 'wealth redistribution'
• Says, 'We did not say we will return the entire 16 lakh crore'
• Rahul clarifies asserting 'a small amount of money would be returned'

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi voiced his criticism against the economic policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Wednesday, portraying the promises outlined in the party's manifesto. Gandhi said that the manifesto pledges to redistribute a small portion of the 16 lakh crore allegedly allocated to select 22 individuals by PM Modi, back to 90% of the country's population.

"We did not say we will return the entire 16 lakh crore. We have calculated and said only a small amount of money would be returned," Rahul Gandhi said speaking at Samajik Nyay Sammelan in Delhi's Jawahar Bhawan.

"We have calculated...what we felt is justice and that help should be given, we put it down in the manifesto," Rahul Gandhi said.

Attacking the Prime Minister, Rahul Gandhi said, "You must have seen that the Prime Minister has panicked. It is a revolutionary manifesto."

The 'redistribution' topic has become a matter of hot debate between the Congress and the BJP government.
