Narendra Modi is ‘jumla raja’, his rule ‘chaupat raj’: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, February 6

Hitting out at the government on the issue of unemployment and farmer distress, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi “jumla raja” (king of rhetoric) and his rule “chaupat raj” (regime of ruin).

Using Twitter to take a swipe at the Prime Minister, he tagged a media report on the unemployment situation in Uttar Pradesh, claiming that the youth with even PhD degrees were applying for Class IV jobs.

“Farmers do not get the right prices, the youth do not get the right jobs in ‘jumla raja’s chaupat raj’; no hard working person gets respect,” the Congress chief said in a tweet in Hindi. 

Gandhi has been highly critical of Modi on the issue of unemployment and has often accused him of not fulfilling his promise of providing two crore jobs per year to the youth.

The Congress chief has also targeted Modi for not providing adequate prices to farmers. PTI
