Italy: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, took a fresh dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that while the latter is busy handing out toffee packets, the Indian economy is heading towards a storm. Taking to X, Rahul Gandhi said that citizens are in tears while PM Modi is making reels. Rahul Gandhi’s comment came in the backdrop of PM Modi’s Italy visit, where the latter shared photos and videos showing lighter moments with Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni. PM Modi gifted a packet of Melody chocolates to Meloni. Notably, the word ‘Melodi’ was coined by the Italian PM clubbing Meloni and Modi in 2024 to show deeper ties between the two nations.
“An economic storm is raging over our heads, and our Prime Minister is busy handing out candies in Italy! Farmers, youth, women, labourers, and small traders are all in tears – the PM is laughing and making reels, while the BJP folks are clapping along. This isn’t leadership, it’s a farce,” said Rahul Gandhi.
