Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday stated his party's ambitious NYAY scheme as an answer to the wrong policies of the BJP-led NDA government which have "annihilated" the country's economy.

Addressing an election rally for party candidate Kaiser Jahan at the Gulzar Shah ground in Biswan, the Rahul Gandhi slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rahul Gandhi quoted saying Demonetisation and GST together annihilated the country's economy. The NYAY Scheme of the Congress is the only answer to the poor people affected by the wrong policies of the BJP.

"Our Prime Minister helped Anil Ambani by giving him the contract of Rafale and in turn cheated the country," said Congress President.

Gandhi further urged the people to vote for his party and assured that if voted to power, the Congress government will uplift the poor who have been "robbed" by Modi. "Youth of Sitapur who are jobless now will have jobs in their hands after the Congress comes to power," he said.

Polling in Sitapur will take place on May 6 in the fifth phase of the ongoing general elections.
