Punjab Newsline, New Delhi/Chandigarh, February 12-
On Tuesday, during the Rajya Sabha budget discussion, AAP MP Raghav Chadha launched a strong attack on the government’s policies and openly highlighted the issues faced by the middle class, railways, and Indian expatriates. He asserted that the government treats the middle class as a soulless structure—exploiting its very bones—to build a five‐billion‑dollar economy.
In his speech, MP Raghav Chadha said, “The poor receive subsidies and schemes, the rich have their debts forgiven, but the middle class gets nothing. The government thinks the middle class has no dreams or aspirations. It is regarded as a hen that lays golden eggs, which are repeatedly squeezed.”
He explained that while the economy may be growing and demand is increasing, this demand comes solely from the middle class—whose pockets remain empty. Census data and surveys confirm that the middle class has its own dreams and aspirations and that their children harbor limitless ambitions.
