The Congress leader cited a media report quoting a survey from Oxfam which had highlighted the vast gap between the India's rich and the poor. 

On Monday, international rights groups Oxfam released a survey which said that the richest 1% in India own 73% of the wealth generated in the country. 

The Congress leader suggested that PM Modi who today delivered the keynote address at the plenary session at the World Economic Forum in Davos should also address the issue of economic inequality in India. 

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra responded to the Congress leader's question and held the previous governments headed by the Indian National Congress responsible for the economic gap.
