Cong. says Modi govt. ‘betrayed’ people in four years

TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ The Congress today hit out at the Narendra Modi government on the completion of its four years in power, accusing it of betraying the people of the country and not fulfilling the promises the ruling BJP had made to them.

Releasing a booklet titled “Betrayal”, the Congress party said that the agriculture sector remained stressed during the past four years as farmers did not receive the minimum support price for their produce.

Congress general-secretary Avinash Pande said unemployment has increased during the BJP rule. The party cited labour bureau statistics in the booklet to say that the BJP-led Union government created only 4.16 lakh jobs in 2016-17 against Modi’s promise of creating 2 crore jobs per year. Pande said atrocities against Dalits, minorities and the tribal people “have left them insecure.”

“Women are also insecure while farmers, youths, businessmen are feeling betrayed by the prime minister and the BJP, which made tall promises before coming to power but did nothing in the last four years,” he told reporters.”We are protesting against the government and will make people aware (about it) everywhere,” he said.
