Opposition attacked the government
After the figures of the Global Hunger Index came out, the opposition has dominated the government. Congress leader P Chidambaram said India’s score has deteriorated since 2014 in the eight years of the Modi government. In a tweet, Chidambaram said, Hindutva, Hindi imposition and spreading hatred is not a medicine for hunger. Apart from this, Karti Chidambaram tweeted, BJP government will reject these figures and raid the organization doing the study.
Sisodia took a jibe
After these figures came out, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has also attacked the government. He said, BJP gives speeches about making India a five trillion economy, but 106 countries are better than us in providing two meals a day. He further said, without giving good education to every child of India, number-1 cannot be made.
