His comments were echoed by the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge who said that this is not the “Amrit Kaal” but the “Andh Kaal” (dark age) with a “blind King”.
Attacking the BJP that claims it to be India’s ‘Amrit Kaal’ that is the most auspicious time, Gandhi tweeted in Hindi with the hashtag ‘Kiske Achhe Din’.

Kharge on the other hand wrote a series of tweets saying, “24% increase in suicides due to unemployment. 84% families saw a decline in income. Yet, Modi and his ministers call these difficult times as 'Amrit Kaal'. This is India's 'Andh Kaal' with an 'Andha Raja' as PM.”
