NEW DELHI: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, targeting the government’s announced economic reforms and highlighting issues such as massive unemployment , falling wages, declining savings, and rising liabilities.
“Your recent lofty speeches about 'reforming' the Economy are meaningless,” Kharge said through a post on X. “Pick up some REAL data and see how you messed up!”
Kharge’s comments come a day after PM Modi , along with Bihar CM Nitish Kumar , inaugurated the Aunta–Simaria bridge over the Ganga, a key project linking Mokama in Patna district with Begusarai. He also inaugurated the Amrit Bharat Express connecting Gaya to Delhi, as well as a Buddhist Circuit train linking Vaishali in northern Bihar to Koderma in neighboring Jharkhand.
During his visit to Kolkata, he inaugurated three new metro sections spanning 13.61 km and launched services on the Noapara–Jai Hind Bimanbandar, Sealdah–Esplanade, and Beleghata–Hemanta Mukhopadhyay routes.
The Prime Minister said the projects demonstrate the government’s focus on developing every city as India progresses toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy. He added that they reflect the administration’s commitment to urban development and green mobility.
Meanwhile, the Congress intensified its attack on the BJP-led central government, accusing it of engaging in " vote chori ."
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Monday renewed his criticism of the Election Commission during his ongoing "Voter Adhikaar Yatra," accusing the poll body of manipulating votes and targeting him with its demand for an affidavit.
The opposition leader reiterated his ‘vote chori’ allegations against the ruling party, stating at a rally in Bihar on Thursday, “BJP trying to steal people’s votes to benefit a section of industrialists," adding that ‘vote chori’ constitutes an “attack on the Constitution of India.”

Your recent lofty speeches about “reforming” the Economy are meaningless, because it is your own government that has created —
📈 Massive Unemployment
📉 Depleting Wages
📉 Vanishing Savings
📈 Surging Liabilities
