Speaking to reporters in Kannur after the Parliamentary coordination committee meeting, Rahul Gandhi held PM Modi responsible for the rising unemployment among the youth, farmers'' suicides and allegedly giving Anil Ambani Rs 30,000 crore as part of the Rafale deal.

"Narendra Modi divided the country and made the country fight within itself. The most anti-national thing to be done in this country today is creating a situation by which 27,000 youngsters are losing their job every 24 hours. Anti-national behaviour is crippling our agricultural
system and forcing thousands of farmers to commit suicide is anti-national behaviour," Mr Gandhi said.
