Earlier on January 3, a BJP leader sent a copy of the Constitution of India to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

Congress sends a copy of Constitution to the PM 

The Congress party on Sunday took a dig at Prime Minister Modi by urging him to 'read the Constitution.' The grand old party shared a picture of an Amazon cart with a copy of the Indian Constitution reportedly sent for delivery to the Prime Minister's residence. Raising accusations for 'diving the country', the mockery by the Congress party came as the country celebrated its 71st Republic Day.

Keeping the payment method, 'pay on delivery', the Congress party's 'Constitution to PM' comes at the time when the country is facing outrage and nation-wide demonstrations against the policies of the BJP-led government, especially the controversial amended Citizenship Act (CAA) and proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Meanwhile, Union Minister Piyush Goyal, during the Raisina Dialogue 2020 held in New Delhi, had said, Amazon is not doing a favour to India by investing a billion dollars in the country. The comment came at the time when the country is reeling under economic crisis, with the IMF chief Gita Gopinath blaming India's GDP figures for the organisation's downward revision of the global economic growth.

However, while speaking at World Economic Forum (WEF) 2020, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said growth slowdown in India appears to be temporary and that she expects the momentum to improve slowly.
