Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the “poster boy for broken promises”, the Congress alleged, as it tore into the performance of his government, which it dubbed as a “regime of lies”. “His entire government and politics is built on a foundation of deceit and falsities,” the party said in a commentary.
When campaigning for power, Mr Modi promised the world to India and was “able to spread lies, in the garb of truth, across the nation. But, PM Modi’s claims have been exposed in the last two years,” it said.
While recalling that Mr Modi had promised Indians two crore jobs a year, but in reality he has “only delivered 1.35 lakh”.
“This is after he had been screaming himself hoarse on how the Indian economy is booming under his government. If the economy is booming, where are the jobs In stark contrast, the UPA created nine lakh jobs in 2011,” the party said in the commentary posted on its website.
Taking a dig at Modi’s supporters who claim that his travelling across the world had raised India’s prestige abroad, it wondered: what had been the product of his foreign policy “Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Pampore, 1000 ceasefire violations have been the direct result of Modi’s diplomacy. India has been left red-faced in our quest to become an NSG member,” the Congress party said.
Besides, the party insisted that under Mr Modi’s “adroit” diplomacy, Russia had removed its arms embargo on Pakistan, China was going full steam ahead in propping up Pakistan, and the US had agreed to sell Pakistan fighter planes. “Experts are still trying to find the success stories of Modi’s foreign policy!”
The commentary is titled “Soaring inflation, rising intolerance, Rupee in ICU, youths in long queue! Are these the ‘Achhe Din’ promised by PM Modi ”
It alleged that Mr Modi and his government had been the “bane” of the middle and lower income groups in India.
“From the soaring prices of pulses to his silence on the promise to increase the Income Tax base to Rs 5 lakh and doubling farmers’ income, Modi is unconcerned about fulfilling his electoral promises as he is too busy travelling across the world.”
