“Just by calling ones residential address as ‘Lok Kalyan Marg’ it need not bring welfare to people. The Prime Minister implemented the ‘increase inflation, income reduce model’ to destroy the present and future of 6.5 crore employees,’ he tweeted.

The former Congress president along with his tweet also shared a graphic. Showing the cut in EPF interest rate since 2015.

The statement of the Wayanad MP comes a day after. The Centre fixed EPF interest rate at 8.1 per cent for financial year 2022.
