What Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on ‘Melody’ event?
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday that an economic storm is raging but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is handing out candy in Italy.
“This isn’t leadership, it’s a gimmick,” Gandhi, who is on a visit to his constituency Raebareli, said on X.
‘Prime minister is laughing and making reels’, says Rahul Gandhi
At a time farmers, labourers, traders and others in the country are all in tears, the prime minister is laughing and making reels while BJP folks are clapping along, the former Congress president said in his post in Hindi.
“An economic storm is raging over our heads, and our prime minister is busy handing out candies in Italy!” he said. The Italian premier featured Modi as well in a video on the X.
“Prime Minister Modi brought us a gift — a very very good toffee,” Meloni said in the video as Modi shows a packet of toffees, saying “Melody”.
“Thank you for the gift,” Meloni said in her post.
