Stating that the economic situation of the country was going from bad to worse, he said the Modi government, which had been in power for the last ten years, had only given impetus to corporate and investors and favoured affluent sections of the country.

On the other hand, he said the prices of petrol, diesel, gas and essential commodities have increased and a heavy burden has been placed on the poor, he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who ignored public welfare during last ten years, was playing dramas to return to power, he said and asked people to teach BJP a lesson in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
