Gandhi also slammed Modi over CAA, NRC

Gandhi also sharpened his attack on the PM over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
Gandhi said, "Indians are being made to prove that they're Indians. Who is Narendra Modi to decide who's an Indian? Who gave Modi the license to ask for my Indianness?"
Gandhi also accused Modi of distracting people from real issues, such as unemployment.

'Whenever you ask Modi about unemployment, he distracts attention'

Gandhi said, "Notice that whenever you ask Narendra Modi about unemployment and jobs, he suddenly distracts attention. NRC and CAA are not going to get jobs, the situation in Kashmir and burning Assam are not going to get jobs for our youth."
