Govt lists successes of 6 years, Oppn critical

NEWDELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday released a video celebrating its six “incomparable” years in power and highlighting achievements of PM Narendra Modi’s government since 2014. Modi is due to complete the first year of his second term on May 30 and officials said any celebration will be subdued and limited to the virtual world in view of the Covid-19 crisis.

The Congress hit out at the BJP over the nine-minute promotional video, saying that the ruling party was in celebratory mode at a time when the country was faced with the coronavirus pandemic. Several social media users posted pictures of migrant workers walking home to draw attention to their plight.
