    ● फरवरी- नमस्ते ट्रंप
    ● मार्च- MP में सरकार गिराई

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi released an episode of his new short format digital video series on the ongoing border crisis with China on Monday.

"Prime Minister fabricated a fake strongman image to come to power. It was his biggest strength. It is now India's biggest weakness," Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet attaching his second video of the series.

Rahul Gandhi had earlier released a video in which he questioned the government's foreign policy. He slammed the Narendra Modi government over the face-off with China in Ladakh. He had said, "China chose this time to intrude in our land as India's foreign policy, economy and relationship with neighbouring countries are disrupted."

Rahul Gandhi explained the reasons why China selected this time to intrude into India, said a party leader.

He has been critical of the government over the handling of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) situation with China after the killing of 20 Indian soldiers, including an officer on June 15 in Ladakh's Galwan Valley by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). He also questioned the government over its claim that China did not occupy or intrude into India.

Firing salvos at the government over China's intrusion in India, Rahul Gandhi said, "The question is why the Chinese chose this particular time to move. What is it about India's situation that has made China act in such an aggressive way. What is about this moment of time to have the confidence that they can move against a country like India?"

The opposition party had also slammed the government over economy and unemployment amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier, the Wayanad MP had tweeted, "Since 2014, the PM’s constant blunders and indiscretions have fundamentally weakened India and left us vulnerable. Empty words don’t suffice in the world of geopolitics."

Earlier this month, Congress leader also posted a video on his twitter handle in which he claimed that China has intruded eastern region of Ladakh. He accused PM Modi of lying on the Indo-China border issue, saying that Ladakhis claim that China has taken their land.

Congress had repeatedly asked the government to provide financial aid to the poor and marginal section of the society by transferring immediate cash into their bank accounts.
