New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the BJP-led Centre of having no strategy for bringing back Indian students stuck in Ukraine, tackling China in eastern Ladakh, unemployment, inflation, and the fall of the rupee.

Rahul Gandhi accused the government of only indulging in public relations

Taking to Twitter, the Congress leader writes, “Government of India (GOI) has no plan for: Rupee at all-time low, record unemployment and inflation, students stranded in Ukraine and China occupying our territory. Modi Government = Only PR.”

Congress has been criticising the government’s response to evacuation of Indians from Ukraine, alleging that it has been delayed due to which students have got stranded in the war-ravaged country.

On Monday, Union Minister of State for External Affairs, V Muraleedharan, said the Centre was able to bring back around 16,000 Indians from Ukraine so far.

Another Congress leader, Shama Mohamed, said in a tweet: “Rupee hits lifetime low, plummeting to 76.96 vs USD, its weakest level ever. When UPA was in power, PM Modi was worried that the Rupee was in the ICU. Now where is his concern when the Rupee is on the ventilator gasping for oxygen!”

She further claimed that foreign portfolio investors have withdrawn Rs 2 lakh crore from India since October.

“Investors are running to the exit door, but PM Modi is too busy campaigning for elections to care,” the Congress leader said and asked when would Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman hold a press conference to discuss this alarming exodus of investors,” she tweeted.
