You have worked to sell India. You have worked to attack the Constitution,” Gandhi said.The Congress leader also accused the Modi government of weakening India’s economic system and alleged that it had been handed over to industrialists and foreign interests.Targeting the Prime Minister over his recent foreign visits, Gandhi claimed that the country was heading towards an economic crisis even as the government was asking citizens to cut fuel consumption and reduce foreign travel.He also took a swipe at PM Modi’s meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying, “An economic storm is brewing over our heads, and our Prime Minister is out in Italy handing out sweets.”BJP slams remarks; PDP, Congress hit backThe remarks drew sharp criticism from several BJP leaders, including Nitin Nabin. However, former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti questioned the outrage, alleging that BJP leaders have frequently used terms like “traitor” and “turncoat” for critics since 2014 without facing similar backlash.However, the Congress has not yet officially reacted to the complaint. Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh renewed his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.In his statement, he says, “The Prime Minister is busy distributing caps and making moral appeals to the public while the ground beneath the country’s feet is slipping away. India urgently needs a fundamental change in economic policies, but the Modi government has no new ideas beyond self-praise.”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
