Former AICC chief Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at PM Modi for the Union Budget 2020 and linked it to Yoga, in an obvious bid to mock him.
Bengaluru: What’s the relation between Yoga and Union Budget or Indian economy?
Ask Rahul Gandhi and he will let you know!
This afternoon, he put out a tweet, mocking PM Modi performing yoga and linked it to the economy.
Dear PM,
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) February 2, 2020
Please try your magical exercise routine a few more times. You never know, it might just start the economy. #Modinomics pic.twitter.com/T9zK58ddC0
"The main issue is unemployment. I didn't see any concrete idea, any strategic idea that would help our youngsters get a job. I saw a lot of tactical stuff but I didn't see any central idea."
He had also added, "It describes the government quite well. It (the budget speech) was more than 2 hours 45 minutes. Lot of repetition, lot of rambling, nothing concrete so its the mindset of the government. All talk, all talk, all talk, nothing happening but the country is suffering. You (speaking to the reporters) can talk to youngsters in university and college, you all know what is going on and nothing happened here to help youngsters."
In response to his reactions, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale added, "Rahul Gandhi does not have much knowledge over this budget, you can consult the entrepreneur, the businessmen they are happy with the budget. So according to me, it won't be right to comment on what Rahul Gandhi's views are. He is the Opposition leader, he will definitely criticise the budget, but our budget is based on Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas."
