Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam on Thursday urged former Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata and Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit-Nene “not to fall into the trap of lies” laid by BJP national president Amit Shah during his visit to the metropolis on Wednesday.

A day after Shah met the leading industrialist and renowned actress separately during his visit to the city as part of the BJP’s outreach programme undertaken ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Nirupam wrote letters to Tata and Madhuri individually and appealed to them not to lend credence to the claims of NDA Government” “achievements” as made by the BJP president.

In his letter to Tata, Nirupam wrote: “I beseech you to understand the truth and not fall for the lies of Amit Shah. I am sending a booklet to you which clearly identifies and explains that the BJP has not been able to do anything for the people of this country in the past 4 years”.

“Mr. Tata, you have always supported secular forces all your life and clearly the BJP has spoiled the secular fabric of our country,” Nirupam stated.

Speaking about the rising unemployment and corruption in the country, Nirupam said: “In the past 4 years, the BJP Government has failed on all fronts whether it be on economic parameters, social harmony, or international relations”.

In his letter to Madhuri, Nirupam stated: “As an artist, you can understand how different forces work together in the creative space as well and this has clearly suffered during the BJP rule. We should work together to stop these forces from gaining ground”.

In his letters to Tata and Madhuri, Nirupam also reiterated the fact that the BJP-led NDA Government’s ill-conceived fiscal policies had hurt the industry and economy including small businesses, agrarian economy and Corporate world.
