Prime Minister Narendra Modi should have the courage to speak to the students in universities on why the economy of the country has become a disaster, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday, while asserting that the prime minister did "not have the guts" to do so.
Modi was doing the biggest disservice to the nation by dividing it and distracting the attention of people, he told reporters after a meeting of the opposition that was attended by the leaders of 20 parties.
"Narendra Modi should stand up and have the courage to speak to the youngsters of these universities on why the economy has become a disaster, why has it become a basket case and why unemployment in India is at its highest in 50 years.

"Unfortunately, the prime minister of the country does not have the guts to do this," Gandhi said.
Modi did not have the guts to face the students of the country and so he crushed them using the police, he alleged.
"I challenge the prime minister to go to any of the universities, stand over there without his police, without his infrastructure and tell the people what is he going to do with this country," the Congress leader said.
