प्रधानमंत्री जी,
आपके राज में दो ही तरह का "विकास" हो रहा है:
एक तरफ आपके खरबपति मित्रों की आय बढ़ती जा रही है।
दूसरी तरफ आमजनों के लिए आवश्यक वस्तुओं के दाम बढ़ते जा रहे हैं।
अगर यही "विकास" है तो इस "विकास" को अवकाश (छुट्टी) पर भेजने का वक्त आ गया है।#IndiaAgainstBJPLoot pic.twitter.com/Pra7PfAQb8

Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi Slam BJP
The latest revision in price invited criticism from the opposition. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the one who is forcing the people to sleep hungry, is himself sleeping in the shadow of his friends.
Addressing the Prime Minister, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “There are only two types of “development” taking place under your rule: On one hand the income of your billionaire friends is increasing. On the other hand, the prices of essential commodities are increasing for the common people. If this is “Vikas”, the time has come to send this “Vikas” on leave.”
