Taking a dig at the Modi-led BJP government, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said that his party "ensured peace in Kashmir".

During the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the then UPA government consulted all senior people. We completely marginalised Pakistan. Now, the way it is being handled is ad hoc," he said. "We ensured peace in Kashmir."

During an interaction with management students at a leading business school here, said the Pathankot attack was mishandled by the Modi government.

"The best experts on dealing with terrorism, foreign policy are not being consulted. NSA is dealing (with the attack) directly. His job is strategy, not tactics which is the job of NSG. When you let people who don't know what to do, do it, you get into a problem," he said.

"You can't totally prevent terror attacks but you can react in the right way. The main issue is how do we respond.

"The biggest problem India is facing today is massive centralisation of power. Everything is being done by three or four or five-six people. You can't solve problems by centralising power," he said.

"Exports and the rupee are collapsing. The impact of fuel price cuts is not being passed on to the consumers. There is a complete failure of management of economy," Gandhi said.

"The current PM used to ridicule our PM (Manmohan Singh) on the economy. Now, my advise to this PM is get to work," he said.

"We (Congress) are not just 40 plus people in Lok Sabha we are 20 per cent vote of the country," Gandhi said. (Agencies)
