Guwahati: Former cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu who on Friday addressed a public rally at Silchar in Southern Assam’s Barak Valley said that the Narendra Modi government has looted the common masses in the past years and the country will be totally finished if Mr Modi becomes the Prime Minister once again.

Mr Sidhu, who addressed a rally for Congress candidate Sushmita Dev at Itkhola ground, said that the Modi government has looted the masses in the past five years and helped industrialists to increase their wealth.

Mr Sidhu said that Mr Modi had promised before the last Lok Sabha elections that each and every citizen of the country will get Rs 15 lakh in their bank accounts and two crore jobs would be given every year if the BJP came to power, but those were nothing but “fake promises”.
