Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said common citizens were suffering and not getting any return for their hard work under the rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and once again targeted the Centre over the 2016 demonetisation exercise and poor implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

He said the Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra, which is in Maharashtra currently, was aimed at standing against what he called the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s policies of "spreading fear and hatred".
