As Rahul Gandhi also tweeted the family planning statement created his own party, Ravi Kishan was among those who slammed the Wayanad MP. He stated 135 crore citizens should be asked about the difference between the Congress governemt and the PM Modi government. He wrote, “Your government was for your family and your brother-in-law. But PM Modi worked for the oppresed, deprived and poor."

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit trolled Rahul Gandhi over his mannerisms, and even stated that he should get married for the slogan to make sense.
Writer-director Vinta Nanda, however, came out in Rahul Gandhi’s support and called it a ‘masterstroke.’
Using the Congress-era family planning slogan- 'Hum do, hamare do' he alleged that only 4 persons are running the country and gaining from the farm laws.
"Many years ago, there was a slogan for family planning- 'Hum do, hamare do'. Like coronavirus comes in a different form, this slogan has come back in a different form. Today, this country is run by 4 people- 'Hum do, hamare do'. Everyone knows their names," he said.
His alleged dig was at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and two leading entrepreneurs of the country.
Rahul Gandhi avoided comment on the Union Budget during his speech and shared his take on the three farm laws passed by the Government. He even misinterpreting the The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, contending that it would lead to the end of the Mandi system.
On The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020, Rahul Gandhi said, "The content of the second law is that the biggest industrialists can store any amount of grain, fruit and vegetables. There is no limit."
He added, "They can hoard as much as they want. The content of the second law is to finish the Essential Commodities Act".
"The content of the third law is that when a farmer goes to the biggest industrialist and demands the right price for his grain, fruits and vegetables, then he will not be allowed to go to the court."
