Darshan Desai/Firstpost[/caption] Rahul accused the BJP-led government at the Centre of not creating new jobs for the people of the country. “The Indian youth want to work and take the country forward. But the BJP government is not able to provide them with jobs. Rahul also spoke against demonetisation and the recently introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST). “Without asking anybody, Narendra Modi launched a massive attack on the Indian economy. And it didn’t stop there. Small shopkeepers and traders were the worst hit. And then, GST came along,” he said. Rahul claimed the BJP worked only for the rich. “There is no space in their (BJP’s) hearts for the weak and poor in India. But for the rich, they open all doors for them,” he said. The tour of the Saurashtra region — which sends one-third of the legislators in the 182-member state Assembly —  comes weeks after  his trip to Gujarat  where he interacted with thousands of party workers at Ahmedabad Sabarmati riverfront. The region has not been electorally rewarding to the party, as the 2012 Assembly elections yielded only 12 of the 52 seats.
