During the interaction with the students of St.
Teresa's College in Kochi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that as the economy collapsed due to COVID-19 pandemic, Centre is forcibly taking money from common people to run the government.
"Due to demonetisation and GST, Indian economy was damaged.
It was already weak and after COVID, it collapsed.
Government now doesn't have money, so they are forcibly taking money from your pocket to run the government," said Congress Gandhi.
