Congress slams Modi government's performance, to launch nation-wide stir
NEW DELHI: The Congress has come out with a critique of the central government on its third anniversary, which accused the regime of ‘failing to deliver’ on promises.
The AICC released a video clip, ‘Three Years and 30 Tricks,’ on Tuesday even as party vice-president Rahul Gandhi asked what exactly the NDA regime was celebrating. The AICC said that Congress would launch a national agitation to highlight the ‘failures’ of the NDA government.
"Youth are struggling to find jobs, farmers are committing suicide and soldiers are dying at the border. What exactly is the government celebrating? Three years of broken promises, non-performance and betrayal of a mandate," tweeted Rahul Gandhi. He also held a meeting with MLAs from Rajasthan to prepare the action-plan for next year’s assembly polls.
Congress leaders Jyotiraditya Scindia, Randeep Surjewala, Sachin Pilot, RPN Singh, Sushmita Deb and Divya Spandana, all considered part of Team Rahul, held a joint news conference at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi on Tuesday to pick holes in the performance chart of the NDA government. The video tried to show the ‘disconnect’ between BJP’s prepoll promise and ‘delivery’ in the last three years of the government. The propaganda film highlighted pre-poll speeches of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he vowed to improve the lot of farmers, Dalits/Tribals and youth and contended that each of the promise remained ‘unfulfilled’.
Similarly, the video highlighted how Modi had promised to rein in terror attacks from Pakistan, China’s crossborder polemics and claimed that the situation on the border and in J&K were ‘tense’. The Congress also claimed that key sectors of the economy failed to match promises BJP made when it formed the government in 2014.
"In the last three years, in the process of selling dreams of achhe din, this government has made people helpless. There is an environment of intolerance rampant in the country. If anybody talks about it, they are termed as anti-nationals. The government decides what the people should eat, learn and wear. This government tries to push its policies based on a regimented ideological approach," Scindia alleged.
