NEW DELHI — In the ultimate days of his 6,700-kilometer “Unite India Justice” march this month, Rahul Gandhi waved from the again of a fire-engine crimson jeep because it weaved via a crowd in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence state of Gujarat.

Gandhi, scion of the opposition Indian National Congress celebration, spoke concerning the huge gulf between India’s wealthy and poor. “The amount of money that [700 million] people have in their bank accounts, that same amount is there in 22 [wealthy] people’s bank accounts,” he stated in Hindi, repeating a frequent critique of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s stewardship. “Do you understand this? Even this jeep can accommodate 22 people.”
