The Congress leader shared a media report which said a major auto spare parts manufacturer will stall its production for 10 days every month.
"Due to the downturn, companies are locked for 10-10 days. There would be no work there. But the BJP government has deliberately kept a lock on its agenda of boosting the economy. The economy is badly affected and the government is thinking of a way to escape from it," Gandhi said on Twitter.
Gandhi, who is also in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, has been targeting the government over its management of the economy in the wake of reports of the downturn from various sectors.
