Congress takes jibe at PM Modi over unemployment and economy

Indian National Congress took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of unemployment and the economic slowdown, ahead of US President Donald Trump two-day visit to India.

"69 lakh vacancies of the 2 cr promised by Modiji have been announced. Apply now. Hurry!" the Congress tweeted.

Trump will be arriving in Ahmedabad on Monday. From the airport, PM Modi will take him on a roadshow to cricket stadium at Motera.

“Around one lakh people are expected to be lining up to greet the American President, though President Trump claimed he has been told by PM Modi that 10 million people are expected to turn up along a 22-km-long road in Ahmedabad,” said Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner.

Congress also added a poster that mocked the centre over employment.

"Donald Trump Nagrik Abhinandan Samiti. Hiring Now. Job description: Waving at US President Donald Trump. Vacancies: 69 lakh. Remuneration: Acchhe din (good days)..." the Congress tweeted
