'Howdy economy...Ain't too good it seems': Rahul's swipe at Modi ahead of US event

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the state of the economy, saying it seems that it is not too good.

He took to Twitter to say this ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States, where he will address Indian Americans at a function "Howdy Modi". US President Donald Trump will join Modi at the event in Houston.

"'Howdy' economy doin', Mr Modi? Ain't too good it seems," he said on Twitter, using the hashtag "HowdyEconomy".

The Congress has been attacking the Modi government over the slowdown in the economy and has criticised it for its economic policies.
