Synopsis
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accuses the BJP government of false promises and poor performance in key areas, including employment, inflation, and infrastructure. Kharge criticizes Modi’s 100-day plan as a PR stunt and highlights multiple issues under the BJP’s governance, contrasting with PM Modi’s critique of Congress’s unrealistic promises.
AgenciesReplying to Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s recent attack, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said lies, deceit, fakery, loot and publicity are the five adjectives that best describe the BJP government, adding that the 100-day plan was a cheap PR stunt.
“Lies, Deceit, Fakery, Loot & Publicity are the 5 adjectives which best describe your Govt! Your drumbeating regarding a 100-day plan was a cheap PR stunt! On May 16, 2024 you had also claimed that you took inputs from more than 20 lakh people for the road map for 2047. RTI filed in PMO declined to put forth details, exposing your LIES!” said Kharge.
“The ‘B’ in BJP stands for Betrayal, while the ‘J’ stands for JUMLA ! Setting the record straight. Promise of 2 Crore Jobs per year? Why is India’s Unemployment Rate at a 45-year high? Why are stampedes witnessed wherever there are vacancies for a handful of jobs? Who is responsible for 70 paper leaks in 7 years? Who snatched 5 Lakh Govt jobs by selling stake in PSUs? Bahut Hui Mehangai Ki Maar? Why have the household savings plunged to a 50-year low? Why has the cost of a common thali increased by 52% in just last year?” questioned Kharge.
“Everything you claim to construct is collapsing like a pack of cards — Shivaji statue in Maharashtra inaugurated by you, Delhi Airport roof, Ram Mandir leaks in Ayodhya and Atal Setu develops cracks. Bridge collapses in Gujarat (Morbi), while new bridges falling is a regular feature in Bihar! Innumerable Railway accidents have taken place, while Minister is busy in REEL PR,” said Kharge.
“Turning permanent recruitment to Armed Forces to a temporary one through Agnipath! Modi ji, before finger-pointing, please note that – MODI KI GUARANTEE is a cruel joke on 140 Crore Indians!” added Kharge.
PM Modi’s attack:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday said the Congress stands “badly exposed” in front of people for promising to them what the party knows it will never be able to deliver. Modi launched a fierce attack on the opposition party as he seized on its president Mallikarjun Kharge’s comments that the Congress’ state units should make promises that are properly budgeted and do not lead to financial troubles amid reports of fiscal problems the party-ruled states are facing in keeping some of their pre-poll announcements.
The prime minister said, “The Congress party is realising the hard way that making unreal promises is easy but implementing them properly is tough or impossible. Campaign after campaign they promise things to the people which they also know they will never be able to deliver. Now, they stand badly exposed in front of the people!”
He said the developmental trajectory and fiscal health in the Congress-ruled states of Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana is turning from bad to worse.
People will have to be vigilant against the Congress-sponsored culture of fake promises, he said. “We saw recently how the people of Haryana rejected their lies and preferred a government that is stable, progress-oriented and action-driven.”
