Referring to global survey on hunger, where India is at 103 among 119 countries, Congress president Rahul Gandhi, on Monday, targeted the prime minister, Narendra Modi, in a tweet and said, “While enjoying his life, he forgot to give food to the people.”

Without naming Modi directly, Gandhi used the “chowkidar” (watchman) epithet, which associated with the prime minister, to assail him. Tweeting in Hindi, Gandhi, said: “The chowkidar gave a lot of speeches but forgot about people’s stomach. Did a lot of yoga and enjoyed life, but forgot to give food to people.”

चौकीदार ने भाषण खूब दिया,
पेट का आसन भूल गये।

योग-भोग सब खूब किया,
जनता का राशन भूल गये।https://t.co/RTlyKbKeZl
