In his first election rally in Maharashtra at Ausa in Latur district in the Marathwada region, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that the Narendra Modi-led BJP government had been making false promises, and the unemployment rate in the country stood at the highest in the past 40 years.
Mr. Gandhi asked why Mr. Modi and the media failed to ask Chinese President Xi Jinping hard questions over the Doklam issue during the recent informal summit in Tamil Nadu.
He alleged that the media’s function was increasingly turning out to be to merely showcase the Prime Minister while diverting attention from pressing issues afflicting the common people.
“In the media, one only showcases Prime Minister Modi sauntering in Corbett Park or about lunar missions. All this is good… but the youth of this country will not be fed by sending a rocket on the moon,” the Congress leader said.
