Congress makes Christmas digs at govt

In a series of Christmas-themed tweets, the Congress on Saturday took digs at the government at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the government over fuel prices and inflation.

"All we want for Christmas is a government that listens," the party tweeted with an image of the Santa Claus whose text read, "Thank God Santa is listening to everyone's wishes because Modi ji is only listening to his Mann ki Baat."

"Imagine dashing through the snow at Rs.95/litre," read another tweet. This was accompanied by an image of Santa riding a sleigh and a message that read, "Thank god Santa rides a sleigh, he doesn't need to pay hefty prices for fuel."

"Jingle bells... Jingle bells...Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it would be to buy things...without burning all your savings away," read yet another tweet by the official handle of the Indian National Congress.

Making a dig at the government's current economic policy of privatisation, the Congress tweeted, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, ports, airports, roads, railways, are just a few things Modi ji sells."

"He's not making a list, The govt's not checking anything twice; They have no data on - who's naughty or nice.Thank God Santa has a naughty and nice list, because our government has no data," another tweet read.
