‘Tall promises into hollow claims’: Kharge hits out at Modi on 11th anniversary as PM

NEW DELHI: Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over completion of 11 years of his being in office at the Centre, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that the Modi government has “ruined” the country.

Kharge stated that their promise of “good days” has turned out to be a “dreadful” dream. He stated that a promise of doubling farmers’ income was not fulfilled, so they had to eat rubber bullets, whereas women’s security is currently in “tatters.”

Mallikarjun Kharge further alleged atrocities against the minorities of the country and believed that their participation in society is lost.

11 सालों में बड़े-बड़े “वादों” को खोखले “दावों” में बदलकर मोदी सरकार ने देश की ऐसी दुर्दशा की, कि “अच्छे दिन” की बात अब एक “डरावने सपने” की तरह साबित हुए।

युवा — सालाना दो करोड़ नौकरियों का वादा, असलियत में करोड़ों की ग़ायब

किसान — न आय हुई दोगुनी, ऊपर से खाने…

“26 May 2014. In 11 years, by turning tall “promises” into hollow “claims”, the Modi Government has ruined the country in such a way that the talk of “good days” has now turned out to be a “dreadful dream”. Youth — Promise of two crore jobs per year, in reality, crores are missing. Farmers’ Income did not double; on top of that, they had to eat rubber bullets. Women — conditions apply to reservation, security in tatters. Weaker sections — SC/ST/OBC/Minorities are facing terrible atrocities, their participation is lost”, Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘X’ post read.

Furthermore, Mallikarjun Kharge took on the Union Government and mentioned that inflation in the country is at its “peak” whereas unemployment is on the “rise”. He also accused the government of ruining relations with every country rather than fulfilling the promise of making India a “Vishwa Guru”.

“Economy — inflation at its peak, unemployment on the rise, consumption at a standstill, Make in India flopping and inequality at its peak. Foreign Policy — Promised to become “Vishwaguru” but spoiled relations with every country. Democracy — RSS attacks every pillar, misuse of ED/CBI, and autonomy of institutions destroyed. Every section of the 140 crore population is troubled. This is how the Lotus symbol has been in 11 years!!”, his ‘X’ post further mentioned.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath as the 14th Prime Minister of India by winning the 2014 general election on May 26, 2014 and has been in power for 11 straight years by registering his third consecutive win in the 2024 general polls, becoming the first PM to register the feat. (ANI)
