Rising in support of the motion, Gandhi said the TDP like many others was “a victim of BJP's political weapon called 'jumla’ (gimmick). The TDP had moved the no-confidence motion against the NDA government.

"You are a victim of the 21st century political weapon. The political weapon is the 'jumla strike'. There are many many more victims like you," he said, adding that the farmers, youth, Dalits, tribals and women were also the victims of this “weapon” of the government.

The Congress chief referred to the amount of Rs 15 lakh that was promised to every Indian by the BJP before coming to power after bringing in all black money stashed abroad, and termed it as "jumla strike number one'.

Raising the issue of joblessness which he termed as 'jumla strike two', Gandhi said only 4 lakh jobs have been created in the last four years, against the promise of providing two crore jobs every year.

He also alleged that unemployment was at its peak in last four years under Modi.
