“4 People Run This Country – Hum Doh, Hamare Doh”: Rahul Gandhi’s Jibe

Date:

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is running the country on a “hum doh hamare doh” (we two, our two) policy, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi said in parliament today in one of his sharpest takedowns of the BJP-led government. This policy, he said, has been in play in demonetisation, Goods and Services tax, lockdown and most recently, the three farm laws passed in September that have had the farmers across the country up in arms.
“You all must remember the saying we used for family planning — ‘Hum doh, humare doh’. This government has given that slogan a new meaning. The country is run by four people. ‘Hum doh, aur humaare doh’,” said the leader, who has so far kept his attacks on the BJP confined mostly to Twitter.

Mr Gandhi, however, did not name anyone, declaring instead “everyone knows them”.

The farmers’ protest, he said, is not all that it appears. It is struggle for survival for many others too. “You all feel that this is a farmers’ protest, but you all are very wrong. This is India’s protest… the farmers are just leading the way,” he said.

This is because the farm laws, he said, will not only ruin farmers, but finish the middlemen and have a “devastating effect” on small shopkeepers, small businessmen. It will be a “massive blow” to small and medium enterprise, which will “destroy” India’s rural economy.

“India will not be able to generate growth, generate jobs… all because the backbone of our nation will have been destroyed for the benefit of ‘Hum doh, aur humaare doh’,” Mr Gandhi added amid loud protests from BJP members.

There was constant heckling and disruptions from BJP MPs as Rahul Gandhi progressed with his speech. To BJP members’ insistence that he stick to the subject of the debate – budget – Mr Gandhi responded, “Agriculture is also part of the budget”.
