From rising prices to unemployment, the Congress party posed nine questions to Prime Minister Modi on Friday, 26 May.

The jibe: The questions were posted on Twitter by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has built a "9-year-old building on false promises and the plight of the public!"

"Unemployment has been at its highest since independence and the way the government has tried to hide it is a "tragedy"" said Congress social media head Supriya Shrinate.

Flip side: Meanwhile, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad dismissed the Opposition party's questions as a "bundle of lies and mountain of deception."

  • "These are not questions arising out of criticism, which they have a right to do, but are the result of a pathological hatred towards Narendra Modi," he reportedly said in a press conference on the same day.

Why it matters: The queries put forth by the Congress come ahead of the launch of a month-long campaign by the BJP to "mark the completion of nine years of government at the Centre."
