Congress releases 7-point list of ‘blunders’ by Centre
NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government is harmful for the country as it has failed on every front and betrayed people’s trust, the Congress said 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 chargesheet of “blunders” it accused the government of committing, and alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the
Centre 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 alleged Covid-19 mismanagement.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the government needs to have the right intention, policy and determination to fight the coronavirus and not just a monthly talk.
“You need the right intention, policy and determination to fight Corona and not just a pointless talk once in a month,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, on a day when Prime Minister Modi delivered his monthly “Mann ki baat” 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 prime minister Narendra Modi,” he said.

“This is a deception of the worst kind heaped upon 140 crore Indians by a government they elected based on innumerable promises. After seven years time has come to do stock taking. Time has come to ask why the country is suffering,” 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.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday said India is surviving as a nation due to the good deeds of previous governments since the time of Jawaharlal Nehru, and the present Modi government needs to introspect on whether it has been able to fulfil the basic needs of people.
Talking to reporters here, Raut said, “The country is surviving on the good deeds of previous governments since the time of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to Manmohan Singh,” the Shiv Sena’s chief spokesperson said.
BJP chief J P Nadda on Sunday said while crores of party serve people by helping them with Covid relief material, the opposition has “quarantined” itself and works to lower the morale of the country during the pandemic.
BJP leaders and workers are marking the seventh anniversary of the Modi government on Sunday by carrying out Covid prevention and relief work in one lakh villages.
Nadda, while addressing BJP workers virtually, told them to continue working like “doers”, help people during the pandemic and not get bothered by “obstructors” who absolve themselves from their responsibility.
The BJP is observing the anniversary of its government at the Centre as “Seva Diwas” and in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the party has decided not to celebrate the day, but instead organise relief works under the campaign ‘Sewa Hi Sangathan Hai’.
Crores of BJP workers are carrying out Covid prevention and relief works by distributing masks, sanitisers, food packets and spreading awareness about vaccines in more than one lakh villages and hamlets, Nadda said, adding that all this is being done while following Covid-related protocols.
He underlined that as part of the campaign, BJP MLAs and MPs, including Union ministers, are participating in relief works in at least two villages. Nadda said, party workers have also set a target of collecting 50,000 units of blood through donation drives. Targeting the opposition, the BJP president said it is in quarantine, implying that its leaders are missing from the ground.
This government is harmful for the country as it has betrayed the faith of people of India. Time has come to ask why country is suffering.
