Launching yet another scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the senior Congress leader said what happened to BJP's promise to provide employment to two crore youths of the country. "No one except the 50 few of the country like Ambanis are being benefited by Modi,'' he said, elaborating, "Over 1.1 lakh crore of loans were disbursed by Modi government to these business houses at the cost of common man."
