Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is delivering despite the Opposition’s negativity, the BJP on Sunday accused the Congress of creating hurdles in the path of national development. The ruling party said the Opposition’s repeated “anti-government” campaigns mirrored their “complete frustration” over sustained growth of India under Mr Modi’s stewardship.
“Where on the one hand, world leaders are lauding the PM’s leadership and India’s growth story, Congress leaders are playing politics of lies and deceit for their petty selfish gains,” BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma alleged.
The party claimed that the Modi government has performed well in 2015 despite the atmosphere of negativity “being bred” by the Opposition which continues to stall Parliament and block key reform bills.
“Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are facing corruption charges in court but continue to level baseless accusations on the government to deflect attention from their own failures,” Mr Sharma alleged.
Attacking Congress governments in Kerala and Himachal — where chief ministers Oommen Chandy and Virbhadra Singh, respectively, are embroiled in corruption — the BJP said West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is playing vote bank politics while in Bihar, the law and order machinery has crumbled with CM Nitish Kumar “succumbing to Lalu Prasad Yadav’s pressure”.
The ruling party claimed, through its performance the Modi government has silenced those who have been repeatedly asking what happened to the promise of good days.
Listing the NDA government’s achievements during 2015, Mr Sharma said while the GDP has grown, inflation has come down, foreign exchange reserves have grown along with FDI, the country has done maximum production of ethanol and urea while providing relief to farmers.
He said “zero tolerance” policy towards terrorism adopted by the Modi government has proved to be effective and the outlook of the world towards India and Indians has now changed.
