GOP lists out ‘8 mega failures’ of Modi government in 8 years

NEW DELHI: Terming it as “eight years of misery, misgovernance, inflation, unemployment and communal polarisation”, the Congress Thursday attacked the Modi government on its eighth anniversary.  
Addressing a joint press conference here, Congress leaders Randeep Surjewala and Ajay Maken claimed the BJP government has broken all records of “hoodwinking” its own people with fake “jumlas” and slogans during its eight years of rule.

The party said that the promise of “achche din” made to the people by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned out to be “achche din” only for the BJP and a select group of crony capitalists whose wealth has increased manifold.

Releasing a booklet in Hindi “8 saal, 8 chhal, BJP Sarkar Viphal (8 years, 8 deceits, BJP government failed)”, the party said what was once the fastest growing economy, is now in turmoil thanks to the BJP’s 8 years of misgovernance. 

“Eight years of BJP rule has seen continuous threats to the sovereignty and security of our country, with China continuing to infiltrate our borders, and the prime minister remaining silent. What happened to the PM’s 56’’ chest and ‘laal ankh (red eyes)’,” said party media in-charge RS Surjewala. 

“While high prices are upsetting the budgets of common people on the one hand, on the other communal fires are flaring and the BJP is trying to benefit politically,” he said. The document claimed that 84% Indians have seen reduced incomes and 12 crore people have lost their jobs, even as 60 lakh MSMEs have shut shop with unemployment touching 45-year records, but two-three industrialists have seen their incomes rise by Rs 1,000 crore everyday and 142 super rich made gains of Rs 30 lakh crore in the last one year during Covid.
