Economic Challenges Under Modi Government: Congress Criticizes Leadership

The Congress party has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's economic policies, labeling them as 'jumlas' that damage citizens' lives. Citing indicators such as high gold loan defaults, slowed consumption, and rising inequality, Congress leaders urged for effective solutions to the economic issues plaguing the nation.

The Congress party has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, accusing it of exacerbating economic woes through policies they describe as rhetoric-driven 'jumlas'.

Highlighting critical economic indicators, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge pointed towards a sharp increase in gold loan defaults and a slowdown in private consumption as evidence of the administration's failures. He emphasized the widening income inequality and declining household savings.

Congress leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Jairam Ramesh, criticized the government for increasing economic inequality and imposing burdensome indirect taxes. They demanded actionable solutions to alleviate these problems, arguing that the government's current policies only serve the interests of the few.
