Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday again attacked the Narendra Modi government over the state of the economy and unemployment, accusing it of spending public money on “image correction”.

Citing a news report which claimed the government is seeking to plan a media blitz for its “image correction” to help improve India’s rankings on various indices, Rahul tweeted: “Economic slump, unemployment, Chinese aggression ail our country. GOI: Let’s spend taxpayers’ money on ‘image correction’.”

The Congress has also demanded answers from the government on its plan to “improve the economy and employment generation”.
