Addressing Congress party booth level workers here, Kharge cautioned people not to fall into the "trap" of PM Modi.

In an apparent reference to the January 22 consecration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Kharge said, "People’s stomach will not be filled by showing God’s picture."

He further alleged that inflation in the country is going up every day and people have no jobs even as Modi comes out with excuses such as Pakistan, China and invokes God, when in a crisis.

The Congress leader hit out at Modi saying that the prime minister gave several guarantees earlier and never fulfilled them.

He assured that the two out of the six guarantees given by the Congress party in the run-up to the recently held Telangana assembly polls have been implemented by the state government and another two will be rolled out "soon" while the rest will be implemented in two to three months.
