Country’s future dark under NDA rule, says Cong

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday predicted a dark future for the country on the economic and social side and alleged that it was on the verge of seeing strife under the NDA government.

The Congress also demanded a White Paper on the government’s employment strategy.

Launching a frontal attack on the NDA government on its third anniversary, senior Congress leader Kamal Nath said the hallmark of this government in the last three years has been of “bravado, rhetoric and hyperbole”.

“The future of this country is dark from the economic point of view and from the social point of view. The country had never been so undivided. The country is on the verge of seeing strife in the future,” he said.

Nath, the former Parliamentary affairs minister, said the highlight of Modi government is “media management, propaganda, platitudes and acronyms” and asked people to bring a change in the politics.

Noting that the voter of the country is very intelligent, he said, “India needs a massive political change. This change in politics is not only going to reflect in the politics of today but the politics of tomorrow.”

Alleging the government has failed to create jobs, he said, “We demand the government issue a White Paper on its employment strategy.”
