RBI survey exposes Modi government: Congress
New Delhi, June 10 : Quoting RBI figures, the Congress on Sunday said the Modi government has been exposed as 72.8 per cent people said income increased by zero per cent and 79.2 per cent said inflation has crushed them.
"RBI (Reserve Bank of India) survey exposes Modi government's 'Dhol Ki Poll'," Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted.
According to him, 72.8 per cent people said that the income increased by zero per cent and in fact it decreased.
"79.2 per cent said that inflation broke their back. 68.5 per cent believe that the employment situation is bad and 68.1 per cent said financial condition is worrisome," he added, attaching a Hindi news report.
Surjewala took a poetic dig at the BJP, saying: "Bhajpaiyo ke acche din, janta maange beete din" (BJP promised 'good days', but people are clamouring for earlier days)."

Israeli police make arrests after flares fired at prime minister's private residence
Tel Aviv (AP): Israeli police said on Sunday that they have arrested three suspects after flares were fired at the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the coastal city of Caesarea.
Authorities said the prime minister and his family were not at the residence when two flares were fired at it overnight, and there were no injuries.
The police did not provide details about the suspects, but officials pointed to domestic political critics of Netanyahu. Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the incident and warned against “an escalation of the violence in the public sphere”.
Netanyahu has faced months of mass protests over his handling of the hostage crisis unleashed by Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack into Israel, which ignited the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
Critics blame Netanyahu for the security and intelligence failures that allowed the attack to happen and for not reaching a deal with Hamas to release scores of hostages still held inside Gaza.
A drone launched by Lebanon's Hezbollah group struck Netanyahu's Caesarea residence last month, also when he and his family were away.
