"No Control Of Covid, Jobs...": Rahul Gandhi's Swipe At PM Modi

Mr Gandhi has been a relentless critic of PM Modi, targeting him on issues from the border row with China to the Covid pandemic-triggered migrant and economic crisis

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a multi-issue swipe - and one on his claimed fondness for mangoes - on Saturday morning. ना कोरोना पे क़ाबू,ना पर्याप्त वैक्सीन,ना रोज़गार,ना किसान-मज़दूर की सुनवाई,ना MSME सुरक्षित,ना मध्यवर्ग संतुष्ट...आम खाना ठीक था, आम जन को तो छोड़ देते! Mr Gandhi flagged the deadly new wave of coronavirus infections and states' warnings of depleted vaccine stocks, the condition of the economy and the lack of jobs, and the failure to reach an agreement with farmers engaged in a months-long protest against the centre's new farm laws. "No control on coronavirus and inadequate (stock of) vaccines, no jobs, no attention paid to grievances of farmers and labourers, MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises) are not safe, and the middle class is not satisfied," Mr Gandhi tweeted. "Aam khaana theek tha, par aadm janta ko to chod do (love of mangoes was fine, but spare the ordinary people)," he added, in a jibe at the Prime Minister's self-confessed - during his 'interview' with actor Akshay Kumar in 2019 - love of the fruit.
