Kullu: Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Sunday expressed his support for the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha and senior Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, regarding his concerns about monopolisation of the market by a handful of companies.
In a statement, the CM said Gandhi’s stance is not merely a criticism, but a call for significant and essential reforms.
The CM said: “The Congress party’s ideology has always been rooted in providing equal opportunities to all citizens, ensuring fair distribution of resources and prioritising public welfare within the nation’s economic structure. Rahul Gandhi has raised this serious issue boldly and clearly, which resonates with the concerns of every citizen in the country.”
Sukhu added that a healthy competitive market would not only keep prices in check but also improve the quality of services and products for consumers.
“The Union govt needs to look at this sensitive issue from a perspective that transcends party lines and prioritises national interest,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi’s comparison of such monopolistic practices with the East India Company highlights the potentially dangerous consequences for the nation’s economy and social fabric, he added.
“Rahul Gandhi is the voice of the nation. His concerns are not only valid but also deeply aligned with the welfare of the common citizen. The union govt should adopt a positive approach and take necessary steps towards policy reforms that serve the public interest,” Sukhu asserted.
If the central government truly seeks to work in the public’s best interest, it should seriously consider these suggestions and adopt robust policies to reduce economic disparity, the CM said, adding that such issues warrant a nationwide discussion so that people remain aware of their rights and benefits, ensuring equitable economic empowerment for all.
