Congress in Karnataka on Sunday said it would organise state-wide protests from November 4 to 14 on the economic situtation in the country, which it described as as being "in an ICU" as it accused the Modi government of pushing the country towards a 'financial emergency.'
He pointed out that when Narendra Modi first became the Prime Minister, he had sold many dreams to the people of the country becoming an economic power and doubling farmers' income. "However the numbers (now) dont show it happening."
He cited figures by several agencies about increase in unemployment, dip in GDP, fall in private sector investment, industrial, manufacturing, core sector growth and exports- and increasing NPA, he said,

Rao said the government lacks a reform policy and was instead indulging in "headline management" by organising large scale events in foreign lands to divert attention from the real issues
"Modi is not heeding the advice of anyone and is leading us to destruction," he said
