Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to grasp a basic of the economy -- no amount of growth is enough if it is not creating jobs, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday.&nbsp;

He then went on to make yet another concerted attack on the prime minister and his government.&nbsp;

Gandhi was addressing the annual general meeting of the Punjab-Haryana-Delhi Chamber of Commerce in New Delhi.&nbsp;

Gandhi added that the prime minister wiped out 86% of cash from the economy -- he was referring to demonetisation -- without consulting anybody.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
And that Modi did so with a very big chest but with a very small heart.&nbsp;

Gandhi said all cash is not black and all black (money) is not cash but the prime minister failed to grasp that.&nbsp;

Continuing in that vein, Gandhi said China outperforms us in job creation. And that it creates 50,000 jobs a day, while India creates only 4,100.&nbsp;

He added that six crore Indian businesses are small and medium enterprises. Gandhi said they are the backbone of the country&#39;s economy but that they are getting nothing in return.&nbsp;

Small business also needs to be heard in the corridors of power like the big business houses, Gandhi said.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
The question is, he said, why is government disrespectful to small business?&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
And that Startup India is actually &quot;Shut Up India&quot;.&nbsp;

Gandhi added that it is imperative that a government listen to everyone but this one does not.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
And he added: I&#39;m here to say that I will always be there to listen to you, to stand shoulder to shoulder with you at all times.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Three years ago, Gandhi said, the people had tremendous expectations from Prime Minister Modi. Today, those expectations are shattered. &nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
And he took a potshot at GST or what he has dubbed the &quot;Gabbar Singh Tax&quot;, saying it was badly conceptualised and is adding to people&#39;s distress 
&nbsp; 
And he added that GST has already unleashed a tsunami of tax terrorism and that it&#39;s going to get worse.
