"People do not have money in their pocket. Everyday jobs are lost and on top of that inflation is hurting people, where is and what is the Modi government doing?," he said on Twitter (roughly translated from Hindi), citing a media report.
Surjewala further wrote, "It is true that both Modi and inflation are harmful."
