While addressing his first rally in the Southern state after the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Gandhi scion said: "The Karnataka government is the most corrupt government in the country, and in order to get anything done, you have to pay a 40% commission. This country doesn't belong to any one person, it doesn't belong to Adani. This country belongs to the poor and the farmers."
Rahul Gandhi, who's come under fire from the BJP and its ministers for his comments in the United Kingdom, did not hold back in his attack against the BJP government in the state and at the centre.

Raising the issue of unemployment, Gandhi said, "During Bharat Jodo Yatra, as I passed through Karnataka, I was informed that the state government is struggling to provide employment to young people. Despite holding a degree, it seems that finding work in Karnataka is difficult due to the government's inability to create enough job opportunities for its youth."
He then went on to announce that if Congress returns to power in the state, it will implement the Yuva Nidhi scheme to provide โน3,000 every month to unemployed youth with graduation degrees for two years. It will also provide โน1,500 every month as an allowance to those young people with a diploma and unemployed in the state.
