PM Modi's Surya Namaskar will strengthen his back, not economy: Randeep Surjewala

Congress party's national spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala took to Twitter on Friday and mocked PM Modi's response to Rahul Gandhi, highlighting the issue of unemployment again. This comes after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that youth will hit PM Modi for the decline in the number of jobs after 6 months and PM Modi responded to it by saying that he will exercise and strengthen his back. Surjewala responding to PM Modi said that he only cares about his back and not the economy.

Rahul Gandhi's comments on PM Modi

Slamming the government over job creation and the state of the economy, Rahul Gandhi had said, "Ye jo Narendra Modi bhashan de raha hai, 6 mahine baad ye ghar se bahar nahi nikal payega. Hindustan ke yuva isko aisa danda marenge, isko samjha denge ki Hindustan ke yuva ko rozgar diye bina ye desh aage nahi badh sakta." 

('This Narendra Modi, the speech he is giving, After six months, he will not be able to step out of his house. The youth of this country will hit him with a stick. They will make him realise that India cannot progress without employment for the youth of this country.')
