“An economic storm is looming over our heads, and our Prime Minister is distributing toffees in Italy!
Farmers, youth, women, workers, and small traders are all suffering — the PM is smiling and making reels, while BJP members are applauding.
This is not leadership; it is theatrics.

After the reaction from Rahul Gandhi, Piyush Goyal, a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party and India’s Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, also targeted Rahul Gandhi in a post.
Piyush Goyal wrote on the social media platform X…
“Why does Rahul Gandhi hate India and everything made in India so much?
Today, India has become the world’s trusted destination through Made in India and Local Goes Global, but Congress only finds problems in every Indian achievement.
The global respect, investment, and trust for which the country waited for decades are now being earned by India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Rahul Gandhi is unable to tolerate it.
