Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitendra (Jitu) Patwari targeted the Narendra Modi-led central government on the union budget saying the Modi government was of 'double lies' instead of 'double engine'. "The history of the Modi government shows that it came to power with the promise of 2 crore jobs but it became the most unemployed country in the world. Narendra Modi's government is a 'double lies' government instead of a 'double engine'," Patwari said. (ANI)
