Taking a major dig at the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (November 1) stated that the opposition’s pattern of making false promises has now left them badly exposed before the public. The PM said that campaign after campaign, the Congress party indulges in making promises they know are difficult to fulfill but continue to make regardless.
“The Congress party is learning the hard way that making unrealistic promises is easy, but implementing them properly is tough, if not impossible. Campaign after campaign, they make promises to the people that they know they will never be able to deliver. Now, they stand badly exposed in front of the people,” the PM stated.
“Look at any state where Congress governs today—Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana. The developmental trajectory and fiscal health in these states are going from bad to worse. Their so-called ‘guarantees’ remain unfulfilled, which is a terrible betrayal of the people in these states. The victims of such politics are the poor, young people, farmers, and women, who are not only denied the benefits of these promises but also see their existing schemes diluted,” he added.
Significantly, the PM also urged citizens to stay vigilant against what he described as a Congress-sponsored culture of fake promises. He noted that recently in Haryana, the people chose a stable, progress-oriented, action-driven government rather than falling for the Congress party’s empty promises.
“There is a growing realization across India that a vote for Congress is a vote for non-governance, poor economics, and unparalleled corruption,” the PM remarked.
“The people of India want development and progress, not the same old #FakePromisesOfCongress,” he stated.
