Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge said that the former is expert only in giving slogans. "Manipur burning from last one year but PM did not visit state," he said.
Kharge quipped the Narendra Modi-led government over a slew of issues including exam paper leaks, cancellation of many examinations, train accident, three terror attacks in Jammu & Kashmir, leakages in Ram temple, collapse of canopy at three airports, increase in toll taxes and depreciation of rupee.
The Leader of Opposition in the Upper House accused the PM of trying to divide the society through his speeches during polls.
