New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at the BJP-led Centre as he called the ruling NDA as a "No Data Available" government.
The former Congress president took to Twitter and wrote: "No one died of oxygen shortage, No farmer died protesting, No migrant died walking, No one was mob lynched, No journalist has been arrested."
The tweet comes as Opposition parties have forced multiple adjournments amid the Parliament's Monsoon session as MP tried to raise issues of price rise and GST on daily essentials. The Opposition parties are protesting over their demands related to price rise and imposition of GST by the Centre on some items of daily use.
Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha were adjourned for the first four days of the Monsoon Session following opposition protests. The Houses were adjourned minutes after assembling and Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha failed to transact any significant business in those days.
Amid the logjam in Parliament, the Congress on Thursday stated that the Opposition wants Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to function but its only demand is that the first debate this session should be on price rise and levying of GST on certain food items of daily use.
At a press conference at the AICC headquarters, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said from the Opposition parties' side there is only one demand that immediately there should be a debate on price rise and "GST hike on (certain) food items".
"We want to Parliament to function but we have one demand that the first debate should be on price rise and GST hike on food items," he said.
"Government often says we are ready for debate, it is said for all issues and all governments say this. If tomorrow, the government says at 11 AM or 11:15 AM that it is ready for debate on price rise in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, then Opposition is ready," he asserted, as quoted by news agency PTI.
Meanwhile, whether or not BJP leaders will respond to Rahul Gandhi's tweet, remains to be seen.
