Gandhi also hit out at Modi for not responding to the questions posed by the opposition.

He should have answered on promises of giving Rs 15 lakh, providing two crore employments every year and also on the income of farmers. He also remaied silent on the challenge thrown by Rahulji (Gandhi) to debate on issues," she added.
