<p>Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Indian National Congress (INC) claimed that his party will fulfil the promises made in its poll manifesto of removing poverty from the nation. Gandhi said that as said, Congress would transfer Rs 100,000 into the account of one female from a poverty-stricken household. He didn't clarify how the party is planning to disburse the amount - yearly or monthly basis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During an election rally on Thursday (Apr 11) in the western state of Rajasthan, Gandhi said, "The Congress Government will transfer Rs 1 lakh (in a year) to the bank account of one woman of every poor household in the country."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If you are below the poverty line then every year, Rs 1 lakh (Rs 8,500 per month) khatakhat khatakhat aata rahega aur ek jhatke se hum Hindustan se gareebi ko mita denge," Rahul Gandhi said addressing a poll rally.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that farmers are asking for a minimum support price (MSP) for their crops, youngsters are seeking employment, and women want relief from inflation, but no one is listening.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said, "The 22 persons are more wealthy than the 70 crore people of India. Farmers are demanding MSP, youths are in grave need of employment, and women are asking for relief from price rises.

<p>"Two biggest issues in the country right now are unemployment and inflation. They (BJP) don't talk about unemployment or inflation. Their work is to divert your attention. They don't want the issues of backward classes, farmers and the poor to be shown on national and regional media. You will see Narendra Modi's face in the media 24 hours a day. The job of the media is to raise the voice of the public, but their billionaire owners will not let them do so," he alleged.&nbsp;</p>
