‘Modi’s factory of lies won’t work forever’

- MPOST BUREAU (ASSAM):

PM Modi waived Rs 16 lakh crore loans of his few rich friends. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer

Rejecting the BJP’s claims that the Congress’ election manifesto resembled that of the Muslim League, party president Mallikarju­n Kharge on Saturday asserted that “Modi’s factory of lies” won’t work forever.

Addressing an election rally at Kayakuchi in Barpeta district of Assam, he said unemployme­nt is a big problem in the country and that 65 per cent of educated youths have no jobs.

“The INDIA bloc will surely come to power and stop the BJP. Modi’s BJP will be decimated. Once our government comes to power, we will control price rise and our focus will be on poor people. We will fill up 30 lakh vacancies in government department­s,” he added.

Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “sardar (leader) of liars”, Kharge charged him with lying about providing two crore jobs annually, bringing back black money to the country and giving Rs 15 lakh to each citizen, and doubling farmers’ income.

“Modi’s ‘factory of lies’ won’t last forever. He even called the Congress manifesto Muslim League’s manifesto and spoke lies about it,” he added.

Meanwhile, addressing a press conference here, he claimed that though the BJP says the corrupt must be put in jails, when leaders facing corruption charges join the saffron party, they are “put on the lap” and sent to Rajya Sabha or Assembly.

“You have to wait for a few more days... when the names of candidates come from people to me and I sign the notificati­on, it will be announced,” he said when asked about candidates for Amethi and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituen­cies.

At the rally, he also alleged that the BJP was “looting” the country’s wealth and handing it over to the rich.

“PM Modi waived Rs 16 lakh crore loans of his few rich friends. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. But we will never loot and divide the country like BJP and RSS that are experts in creating fights between communitie­s, castes and religions,” he claimed.

He also criticised Modi for not visiting Manipur even once despite the state reeling under ethnic
