New Delhi: Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Parikasha Pe Charcha’ programme, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said there should also be ‘Kharche Pe Charcha’ (discussion on expenses) as filling fuel in a car has become no less than giving an examination due to the Centre’s tax collection.

The Congress has been attacking the government over the rise in fuel and gas prices and has demanded that the prices be brought back to the level at which they existed at the time of the UPA government.

“Due to the central government’s tax collection, filling fuel in the car has become no less than giving an examination, then why doesn’t the PM discuss it?” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

“Kharche pe bhi ho charcha (Discussion should also be done on expenses),” he said.

At his annual ‘Parikasha Pe Charcha’ programme, Prime Minister Modi told students on Wednesday not to fear exams but to see them as a test to improve themselves, and said social and family environment at times create pressure around students that is not desirable.

  1. Rahul gandhi is quite right. Now, petrol price in Bengaluru is Rs.99.90, just ten paise shy of Rs.100. This is a burning issue for middle class Indians. Why doesn’t he lead an agitation in Jantar Mantar, Delhi? Why does he not occupy this space and make government’s life miserable? The truth is, he can only talk or tweet, he cannot execute his ideas. That is the PM in waiting for you.

  2. Isn’t headlining “kharche pe charcha” bankruptcy of the media specially coming in from the presumed thinking type.
    Without a single original comment, based on logical thinking, when someone continues to get media space whos fault is it?
    Unless of course the opponents are making sure that maximum exposure is given to their own advantage.

  3. Others are fighting elections, running governments, managing political parties while Mr. RG is busy playing the clown. We love him that way though in these trying times.

  4. A moron will be always a moron. He is born as a moron like his cunning corrupt illiterate Italian ex bar maid mummy Ji Antonio maino.

  5. Earlier only India knew he is a budhu by birth a man with no IQ or what so ever, like his cunning corrupt illiterate Italian ex bar maid mummy Ji Antonio maino. But now he is going abroad and canvassing about his stupidity all over the world. So now from a local joker he became an international joker. That is an improvement, of course.

  6. Brainless idiot funded by the enemy. Even rural uneducated folk have seen through this clown.
    Advice to the opposition – you are wasting your money on this moron.
