Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated that the opposition parties in India generally support the government's stance on Russia and Ukraine. He emphasized that India, as a large country, has the right to maintain relations with any nation it chooses, including Russia, even in the face of Western sanctions. Rahul Gandhi considers India's relationship with Russia to be normal and not a point of contention within the opposition.
Rahul Gandhi's remarks coincided with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressing his endorsement of the Modi government's approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Singh believes that India has prioritized its sovereignty and economic interests while also advocating for peace.
Regarding China, Rahul Gandhi commented on China's vision of achieving economic success in a coercive environment and highlighted the absence of an alternative democratic vision from India's side. He suggested that India and Europe could collaborate to promote both economic and political freedom in a democratic production setup as a challenge to China's model.
In summary, Rahul Gandhi asserted that the opposition in India largely supports the government's position on Russia and Ukraine, and he emphasized India's right to maintain relations with any country, including Russia. He also discussed the need for a democratic alternative to China's economic model through collaboration with Europe.

00:00 I think the agenda that you are talking about mostly what has been happening in the election
00:07 manifestos usually, you know, the manifestos of the parties, that's how the elections
00:12 were initially fought or, you know, held, where parties came and spoke about the manifestos.
00:18 Now with all the changes that have happened in India, we know so many PSUs have been privatised
00:23 or are on the verge of being privatised in India. How, in case, in next year's elections,
00:31 in case tables turn and we see the opposition and the alliance probably coming forward and
00:37 running the country, how do you think those kind of changes that were, you know, that
00:42 are so massive that have been happening can be reverted or corrected? You know, the privatisation
00:48 of public sector units, you know, that has been happening in India, how do you actually
00:54 rectify that? Because that has actually taken away employment of so many housewives, I mean
01:00 women, like my mother would probably be a very good candidate for an SBI, you know,
01:06 banking job, but a private sector will not necessarily employ a person of her age and
01:12 will look for a more competitive, you know, growth. So I think that's where I see a lot
01:18 of people will lose employment because of this in India and are doing that. How does
01:22 this get rectified?
01:24 Where we draw the line is the notion of crony capitalism, right? We don't have a problem
01:33 with the private sector, we don't have a problem with the government sector. Where we draw
01:38 the line is where one or two people start to financially control the whole country,
01:46 right? And where one or two people or three people are running everything. That's where
01:53 our problem begins. There's another element to this, which is that government policies
02:00 in India have systematically attacked the backbone of our employment system. If you
02:09 look at who gives employment in India, it's the small and medium industry that gives employment
02:15 in India. And demonetization and GST have devastated those structures, right? So it's
02:24 a two pronged attack that the government is carrying out. Number one, impose a huge transaction
02:31 cost on all small and medium businesses and ensure that you build two or three monopolies,
02:41 monopolists who control pretty much everything. So if you look at Mr. Adani, our problem with
02:48 Mr. Adani is he controls the ports, he controls the airports, he controls agriculture, he
02:54 controls grain silos, he has real estate, I mean he's everywhere. And he's dominant
03:00 everywhere, he controls cement, right? So we think that's counterproductive for the
03:06 country. And on one side, they are pushing this very monopolistic capital. And on the
03:13 other side, they're devastating the small and medium people from where we're going to
03:17 get a job. That's why we're having an unemployment crisis. And the second part is where you require
03:24 key services, right? A country like India requires the government to be involved in
03:32 education. It requires the government to be involved in healthcare. And the idea that
03:38 you can just privatise education and privatise healthcare, it devastates the poorest people,
03:45 because they simply do not have access to this. So they're hitting this from three or
03:50 four sides. And the solutions are pretty clear. I mean, we would invest much more in health
03:57 and education, we would protect small and medium businesses, we would try to build an
04:02 economy where small and medium businesses transition to medium businesses and then to
04:06 large businesses and then to massive businesses, right? If you look at our small and medium
04:12 businesses, almost none of them become big businesses. They remain small or they die.
04:18 And that's because of policy. So you can change policies to ensure that you start building
04:25 champions in these smaller and medium spaces. And you can certainly invest much more in
04:31 education and healthcare. I'm not saying there's no role for private businesses in
04:38 education, there is. But the mainstay of any education system in a country like India has
04:42 to be, you know, it's a government responsibility. And the government can't just say, okay, we
04:47 are going to, you know, abrogate from this responsibility. So the things that can be
04:53 done and need to be done are pretty clear. They're not complicated. And if you look
04:58 at our last manifesto, I think we ironed out quite a few of these ideas. One of the other
05:06 ideas that we have, which we have tested now, you can you can get a sense of how we think
05:12 about these things by looking at our states. So if you look at the healthcare system in
05:16 Rajasthan, that'll give you a good sense of what we are thinking in terms of healthcare
05:21 for the country. If you look at our social programs in Karnataka, you get a sense of
05:28 how we are thinking about social programs for the country. So we tend to run a pilot
05:34 somewhere, see if it works, and then scale it up. And you know, for example, Manrega
05:39 was such a case where we ran a small pilot, then we scaled it into a state and then we
05:44 scaled it into the nation. We don't believe in, you know, these rash decisions where you
05:48 suddenly demonetize the economy or you suddenly impose a GST. We believe in seeding an idea,
05:54 letting that idea grow, testing the idea, and then scaling it across. Chhattisgarh has
06:00 some very good ideas on how to support farmers with minimum prices. Karnataka has our, you
06:07 know, the sort of support that we're giving to women in Karnataka. That's some very interesting
06:14 work that's going on. And in each one of our states, you can see the sort of type of ideas
06:19 that we will use when we come to power.
