Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge launched sharp attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his Italy visit and the economic situation in the country. Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at the Prime Minister for gifting toffees to Italian PM Giorgia Meloni during his Rome visit, saying people in India were facing economic difficulties while the Prime Minister was “laughing and filming reels”. In a post on X, Rahul alleged that farmers, youth, women, workers and small traders were struggling amid growing economic concerns. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also criticised the government, alleging rising public debt, inflation, unemployment and weakening investor confidence. He claimed the public was facing “misery” while being asked to enjoy the “melody” of speeches and accused the Centre of creating an economic crisis.
