New Delhi, Feb 02 (ANI): Union Minister of State of Electronics & Technology Rajeev Chandrasekar on February 02 lambasted Congress MP DK Suresh over his controversial remark. He said, “This is an issue that certainly every Indian should be angry about. Congress party today under Rahul Gandhi sets out to do the so-called Jodo yatra and tries to fool people about his Jodo yatra. You have senior leaders talking about dividing India and seceding South India from North India. This is not only hypocritical, but it is also necessary for the people of India today, especially in North India, to know why is it that North India has lagged behind South India in development? The answer to that is, from 1952 under the Congress till 1995, almost 40 years, the Congress government ran a freight equalization policy that made it absolutely no incentive for companies to invest in Jharkhand, to invest in Bihar, to invest in the north of India. So South India garnered all the investments because of a government policy of the Congress Government called the freight equalization policy. So if anything, today the people of states like Jharkhand, and people of states like Bihar should be asking Congress, why did you do this to us for 50-55 years? And now MPs from the Congress in the south are saying we should not help north India. So this is the hypocrisy of the Congress. This is the double-speak of the Congress that one leader talks about jodo, another leader talks about 'todo'.”
