"On one hand there is a 'suffering India' of poor people, while on the other there is a 'shining India' of rich people. And the gap between the two has only widened. Today, the rich are getting concessions while the poor are being looted," the CPI-M leader said.

Chauhan also hit out at the Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led state government, accusing the Congress of implementing "anti-people and neo-liberal" policies causing sufferings to the common people.
