"Modi govt has eminently proved itself as a govt which has been infected by political as well as economic bankruptcy.

While China is registering a growth of 3.8 per cent of its economy, India has contracted by 23.9%," he tweeted.

"#Modinomics has been fallen flat, for the survival of economics #Jingoism cannot be a remedy, Sh @narendramodi Ji, you should talk to former PM Sh Manmohan Singh Ji and listen to him patiently," the five-term MP said.
