Rahul Gandhi in his tweet said, “100 days No Vikas”and the “continued subversion of democracy”, “stranglehold on a submissive media” and it needs to “turnaround our ravaged economy.”
Congratulations to the Modi Govt on #100DaysNoVikas, the continued subversion of democracy, a firmer stranglehold on a submissive media to drown out criticism and a glaring lack of leadership, direction & plans where it’s needed the most – to turnaround our ravaged economy.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi also attacked Modi government and said that the government is still silent on the issue of economic slowdown and is hiding the truth from people through drama, deceit and lie.
Priyanka’s tweet in Hindi said, “Government is sitting silent on economic slowdown. The business has been stalled as companies are in trouble. From drama, deceit, lie, and publicity they are hiding the critical condition of the country from people.”
अर्थव्यवस्था करके चौपट
मौन बैठी है सरकार
संकट में हैं कम्पनियाँ
ठप्प हो रहा व्यापारड्रामे से, छल से, झूठ से
प्रचार से करके कपट
जन-जन से छुपा रहे
देश की हालत विकट#100DaysNoVikas https://t.co/b3hZJP7NbC— Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) September 8, 2019

In one tweet Congress party said, “The BJP treats the parliament like a notice board; bills are not debated or discussed but presented just to complete a formality. This is a sign of a weakening democracy.”
