Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre on various issues ranging from its claims on tackling cross-border attacks and commitment to bring back black money stashed in safe havens abroad.
"Modiji used to say Pakistan and China will not dare to look at us if he becomes the Prime Minister. Now see what is happening. The Chinese forces were intruding in our territory when the Chinese President was on a visit. Did he ask a single question?" said Gandhi.
The Congress vice-president also took potshots at the BJP-led government for making false promises of bringing back the black money within 100 days of assuming power at the Centre.
"They said they will bring back the black money in 100 days, Have you seen black money yet?" he asked.
