New Delhi: The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) produced a report card of ‘unfulfilled promises’ made by the India’s ruling Bhartaya Janata Party government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The report card highlighted failures and performance of the Modi government on various fronts like economy, foreign policy, communal harmony and inflation.
NCP Chief Spokesperson Mahesh Tapase said, “it is time that the nation revisits the promises made by BJP government” and how it failed to fulfil them, including the promise of a $5 trillion economy, were some of the other claims made by the Modi government.
Tapase said, the country’s GDP stands at 6.5 percent against the promised 10 percent for 2022, farmers’ income has not doubled, nor 100 percent irrigation targets have been achieved as assured by the PM.
Tapase asked, “What about the promise of ‘houses for all in 2022’? What about eradication of malnutrition, 24×7 electricity, 100 percent broadband connectivity for all village panchayats, digital literacy for all and other claims.”
He said, BJP government has written off bank loans worth Rs 10 lakh crore of the big borrowers or scamsters, this benefit was not extended to the poor farmers and small traders, while SME schemes for non-collateral credit remains only on paper as banks refuse to entertain them. Tapase said that while the rupee is collapsing and stretching beyond Rs 82 against the US dollar, Central government borrowings under BJP rule of the past eight years have touched Rs 80 lakh crore.
Tapase asked, “In 2022 alone, nearly 2,00,000 Indians have renounced their citizenship and migrated to other countries. Does BJP government have a roadmap for development, repayment of debts and other required policies or we can only expect fresh ‘jumlas’ in 2023.” NCP leader said, the year-end should serve as a reminder to the people as to how the Modi government has miserably failed to perform on all fronts and remains only concerned with ‘event management’ at public expense.
Earlier, Indian Congress hit out at PM Modi following his address to the nation on the 76th Independence Day, saying he has let the country down by not discussing the promises made by him in the last eight years and by not giving an account of his tenure.
Prime Minister has been making promises in the last eight years and is becoming a victim of his own words and now sounds very tired. His words sound tiring as there is no passion or zest in his heart and his own words on promises made are troubling him now.
