Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 8 (ANI): The Congress party is set to hold a press conference on Saturday to counter Bharatiya Janata Party allegations that “Congress has failed to deliver on its promises,” as per sources.
According to the above sources, the press conference will be jointly held by the Chief Ministers of Congress ruling states, including Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar.
Earlier Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his thread of tweets, accused Congress of making empty promises during election campaigns.
Through his posts, the prime minister claimed, “The Congress Party is realizing the hard way that making unreal promises is easy, but implementing them properly is tough or impossible. Campaign after campaign, they promise things to the people, which they also know they will never be able to deliver.”
Modi cited issues in Congress-ruled states, mentioning that the “developmental trajectory and fiscal health is turning from bad to worse” in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana. He alleged that Congress’s unfulfilled promises were misleading the poor, youth, farmers, and women and that existing welfare schemes were being neglected. Modi urged the public to be vigilant against what he termed the “Congress-sponsored culture of fake promises” and cited Haryana’s recent election results as evidence of people rejecting Congress.
Responding to this, Mallikarjun Kharge said that lies, deceit, fraud, loot and publicity are the five adjectives that best define the BJP government at the centre.
“Lies, Deceit, Fakery, Loot & Publicity are the 5 adjectives which best describe your Govt! Your drumbeating regarding a 100-day plan was a cheap PR stunt! On May 16, 2024, you also claimed that you took inputs from more than 20 lakh people for the road map for 2047. RTI filed in PMO declined to put forth details, exposing your LIES!” Kharge posted on X.
Launching a scathing attack on the central government, the Congress chief said, ” The ‘B’ in BJP stands for Betrayal, while the ‘J’ stands for ‘Jhumla’, and the ‘S’ stands for ‘Setting’ the record straight.”
He further highlighted several areas where the central government has allegedly failed, and said, “Why is India’s Unemployment Rate at a 45-year high? Why are stampedes witnessed wherever there are vacancies for a handful of jobs? Who is responsible for 70 paper leaks in 7 years? Who snatched 5 Lakh Govt jobs by selling stake in PSUs? Why have the household savings plunged to a 50-year low? Why has the cost of a common thali increased by 52% in just last year? TOP — Tomato Prices increased by 247%, Potato by 180% and Onion by 60%? Who levied GST on essential food items such as Milk, Curd, Atta, Dal? Who is penalising Middle Class through LTCG by indulging in Tax Terrorism?” (ANI)
