Modi govt harmful for country: Cong

The Narendra Modi dispensation is harmful for the country as it has failed on every front and betrayed people’s trust, the Congress charged on Sunday on the seventh anniversary of the government.

“The truth is Modi government’s seven years are a story of immeasurable pain, insurmountable devastation and unfathomable agony and anguish for a nation of 140 crore people,” the party said. The opposition party released a seven-point charge-sheet of “blunders” it accused the government of committing, and alleged that the Modi dispensation abdicated its responsibilities towards people. The Congress listed out what it called the major failures of the government, including a declining economy, rising unemployment and inflation, and COVID-19 mismanagement. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said government needs to have right intention, policy and determination to fight coronavirus. “You need right intention, policy and determination to fight Corona and not just a pointless talk once in a month,” Gandhi said in a tweet on a day when Modi delivered his monthly radio address.

Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the last seven years have been a story of unprecedented devastation, abdication of responsibility and abandonment of India’s people by a government that was showered with all the love and affection. “This government is harmful for the country as it has betrayed the faith of people of India. It is betraying the trust and the innate faith the people reposed in Narendra Modi,” he said.

The Congress also came out with a 4.5-minute video, “Bharat Mata ki Kahani”, listing out the “failures” of the government in the last seven years.
