People losing trust in banks under Modi rule: Congress
New Delhi, June 29: The Congress on Friday said the people are losing trust in the banking system and the Indian rupee has become the worst-performing currency in the world under the Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.
Addressing the media here, Congress spokesperson R.P.N. Singh said: "We request him (Modi) to answer the same question he raised to the Congress when it was in power. Now he should answer all these questions from all stages and forums."
Attacking Modi over record fall in the value of rupee, he said: "When he (Modi) was in the opposition, he had said after coming to power he would ensure that the value of one dollar becomes Rs 40. If we look at the condition of rupee now, it is about to cross Rs 70, worst in the past 70 years.
"It is under Modi's rule that the rupee has collapsed to an all-time low value against dollar. The Indian rupee is the worst performing currency in the world right now."
Singh recalled that Modi would also say that he would bring black money back, but the opposite had happened.
"Modi had also promised to deposit Rs 15 lakh in the bank accounts of poor by bringing back the black money worth USD 800,000 million from foreign countries, but now the data shows that this year the deposit in the Swiss Bank has gone up by 50 per cent. It is the second highest in our history, the highest was in 2004 when the BJP was in power last time," he said.
"Some Indians, including Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya, took away money of the poor. The non-performing assets under the NDA rule in past four years has crossed Rs 10,00,000 crore, which can cross Rs 15,00,000 crore in next two years. People are losing trust in banks under their rule," he said.

Feast turns chaotic over missing mutton at BJP MP's event
Mirzapur: A feast hosted by BJP MP Vinod Kumar Bind in Mirzapur’s Karsada turned unruly after guests were allegedly served mutton gravy without any meat. The situation escalated when a youngster slapped the server, accusing him of deception.
The incident reportedly began when a guest, suspicious of being served only gravy, confronted the server. The altercation soon involved other attendees, leading to chaos and forcing many to leave. Senior BJP members and locals eventually intervened to defuse the situation.
Videos from the event showed guests leaving with food packets, while the injured server was seen leaving on his motorcycle.
Bind, who was attending a public meeting with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath in Majhawan, declined to comment on the matter. Questions were also raised about the event being held during the model code of conduct.
Umashankar Bind, a representative of the MP, claimed the disturbance was caused by intoxicated individuals who entered the venue uninvited. He added that the guests had mostly finished dining by 8:30 PM, and the troublemakers fled before their identities could be confirmed.
Bind, who previously served as an MLA from Majhawan, won the Bhadohi Lok Sabha seat in the 2024 elections. The bypoll for his vacated assembly seat has BJP fielding Suchismita Maurya, a former winner from the constituency.
