Congress to mark 4th anniversary of Govt as ‘Betrayal Day’, hold rallies

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Wednesday said it will mark the fourth anniversary of the Modi government on May 26 as “Vishwasghat Divas” or Betrayal Day and “expose” the NDA'S failures on various fronts in protests held across the country.

AICC general secretary Ashok Gehlot said the Congress and other like-minded parties would unite to defeat the Modi Government, which he described as “fascist and corrupt” and claimed was destroying the country.

“Everyone is full of angst against this NDA government. Be it farmers, youth, Dalits, the common man, all are suffering under this government,” he said.

Gehlot also urged the prime minister to “stop lying” on issues and to try and create history instead of “distorting” it.

Along with the party's communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala, Gehlot said the Congress would mark four years of the Modi government with protests in every district of the country, besides press conferences addressed by senior leaders. The two leaders also released posters in Hindi and English for its “India Betrayed campaign” to be launched by the Congress on May 26. The Modi government was sworn in on this day in 2014.

“On the completion of four years of the Bjp-led government on May 26, the Congress has decided to hold dharnas, protests in every district of the country to expose the BJP for its betrayal of the people's trust. The Congress will raise all issues due to which the common man is troubled by this government,” Gehlot said.
