New Delhi: A day after Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge admitted that party’s poll promises have led to financial constraints in states where the Congress is in power, PM Modi on Friday said that the grand old party has realised the hard way that may unreal promises his easy but implementing them is not.
“The Congress Party is realising the hard way that making unreal promises is easy but implementing them properly is tough or impossible. Campaign after campaign they promise things to the people, which they also know they will never be able to deliver. Now, they stand badly exposed in front of the people! ,” he wrote on X on Monday. Earlier on Thursday, Kharge had asked Congress unit chiefs in states to make only guarantees to the people that are possible to be fulfilled.
‘People must be vigilant against Congress; fake promises’
Hitting out at the party further he asked the people to be ‘vigilant’ against Congress’ ‘fake promises. “The people of the country will have to be vigilant against the Congress-sponsored culture of fake promises! We saw recently how the people of Haryana rejected their lies and preferred a stable Government, progress oriented and action-driven. There is a growing realisation across India that a vote for Congress is a vote for non-governance, poor economics and unparalleled loot,” the PM added further.
PM Modi accuses Congress of ‘loot’
Speaking about Congress ‘intra-party politics’ in Karnataka, PM Modi accused the Congress of ‘loot’ rather than working for the development of the people. Talking about other Congress-ruled states, he added, “In Himachal Pradesh, salaries of Government workers is not paid on time. In Telangana, farmers are waiting for the waiver they promised. Previously, in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan they promised certain allowances which were never implanted for five years. There are numerous such examples of how the Congress works.”
Earlier, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar had indicated that the state government would revisit the ‘Shakti’ scheme, which was launched to provides free bus travel for all women in the state.
