मोडानी सरकार ने पिछले दस सालों में केवल अपने अमीर मित्रों का ध्यान रखा है।

सरकार की गलत नीतियों के कारण लगातार बढ़ रही बेरोज़गारी और महंगाई ने निम्न और मध्यमवर्गीय परिवारों के लिए जीवन बेहद मुश्किल बना दिया है।

"The Modani government has only taken care of its rich friends in the last ten years. Ever-increasing unemployment and inflation due to wrong policies of the government have made life extremely difficult for lower and middle class families," Ramesh said in a post in Hindi on X (formerly Twitter).
The prices of milk, flour, pulses, petrol, diesel and vegetables are "skyrocketing", he said.
"The burden of EMIs and daily needs is increasing on every household. The country now needs a budget that provides relief from inflation!" he said.
Ramesh asked if the government would take any concrete steps after listening to the problems of the people.
The Congress on Wednesday claimed that it is becoming clear that the "disappointing" Quarter 2 GDP growth numbers are not a blip but a clear slowdown in the economy and the post-pandemic bump is not broad-based enough to power long-term growth, reported PTI.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday also hit out at the Modi government over its economic policies and asserted that real development is when everyone progresses, there is a fair environment for business, a fair tax system and the income of workers increases.
आज मोदी सरकार ने ग़रीब और मेहनतकश वर्ग से अपना मुंह मोड़ लिया है और उन्हें पूरी तरह से उनके हाल पर छोड़ दिया है। सरकार का पूरा ध्यान सिर्फ़ गिने चुने पूंजीपतियों को ही और समृद्ध करने पर है।
