Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said rising unemployment in India was 'MMD: Modi Made Disaster'.

Rahul used 112th Annual Session of PHD Chamber of Commerce platform in New Delhi to launch a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi government.

"Rising unemployment in India is an 'MMD: Modi Made Disaster' and after 3 years of NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government, India's expectations are shattered," Rahul claimed, adding, "China creates 50,000 jobs per day against Indian rate of 458, but no amount of growth is good enough if it isn't accompanied by jobs."

The Gandhi scion further asserted that people don't trust the Modi-led central government.

"Business thrives on trust. Business is about creating harmony. The truth is that the trust in this government is dead. For some reasons, the PM and his government is absolutely convinced that every single person in this country is a thief," Gandhi said.

He also said that today no one in the government listens to the pain of people.

"One develops trust by listening to each other. Today there is no one in the government who is ready to listen to the pain of our people," the Congress vice president said.

Rahul also took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim of having '56-inch chest' and said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has very a big chest but a small heart. Modi ji and his government have given a double blow to our economy- demonetization and GST (Goods and Services Tax)."

"The prime minister has forgotten that all cash is not black and all black is not bad. Novermber 8th is the 'barsi' (death anniversary) of note ban. GST or Gabbar Singh Tax has unleashed tax terrorism. Small businesses are crying due to the GST," Gandhi said.  -- ANI
