Citing a media report about the job losses during the month of November in the country, the Congress leader tweeted, "Youth is hit by unemployment, the public is being tortured by inflation, attack on farmers by "friends'" (Mitro) law, this is Modi government (Yuva par berozagaaree kee maar, Janata par mahangaee ka atyaachaar, Kisaan par 'mitron' vaale qaanoonon ka vaar, Yahee hai modee sarakaar)."

On Monday, Congress leader demanded that the new agriculture farm laws should be repealed and added that the country can never become self-reliant without the self-reliant farmer.

The former Congress chief left for Italy on Sunday a day before his party's foundation day, triggering attacks by BJP leaders.
