Modi more pracharak than PM, says Congress

The Narendra Modi dispensation is a “Thumbs Up” government which always “wants to have a blast”, the Congress said on Wednesday, taking a dig at it ahead of the start of the Make in India week program

The Narendra Modi dispensation is a “Thumbs Up” government which always “wants to have a blast”, the Congress said on Wednesday, taking a dig at it ahead of the start of the Make in India week programme in Mumbai.

The Congress also hit back at Mr Modi for his veiled attack on the party at a public meeting in Coimbatore the other day during which he had said a “campaign of lies” has been let loose on the issue of dalits under a “deliberate conspiracy” to disintegrate the country, saying he has acted more like a BJP leader and a “pracharak” than as a Prime Minister since taking office.

The AICC spokesman Ajoy Kumar accused Mr Modi of focusing on attacking his political opponents instead of fulfilling the promises made to the people.

“It is a Thumbs Up government. Everyday it wants to have a blast (Kutch toofani ho jaye),” Mr Kumar told reporters, taking a jibe at its “penchant for event management”.

He said the Digital India campaign was launched with much fanfare but its ambitious outlay was halved “within no time” and now only one-fifth of the amount originally estimated has been set aside for the scheme.
