"BJPs talent is not in making but in selling", she added, in a veild refernce to PM Modi's "Make in India campaign".

On the other hand, the party's media head Randeep Singh Surjewala hit out at the centre for cuts in the budgetary allotments.

Citing a new report, Surjewala claimed: "Duping of India's Farmers, Food Procurement, Youth & Sports & Minorities by 'Budget Cuts' in by BJP Govt stands exposed! Agriculture allocation slashed to 72% , Food & Public Distribution to 61%, Minority Affairs slashed to 76%, Youth & Sports slashed to 86%."

Congress statement came a day after CAG report tabled in the Parliament said that Indian Railways recorded an operating ratio of 98.44 per cent in 2017-18, the worst in the last 10 years.

Just a day before, Priyanka Gandhi had raised the issue of rising tariffs on phone calls and internet as announced by telecom companies.
