Udupi: Congress protests against failure of 4-year Modi rule
Udupi: The Udupi District Women's Congress Committee and various organizations of the party staged a protest against the failures of Narendra Modi-led NDA government's four-year rule on Saturday at Ajjarakadu Martyr’s Memorial.
Addressing protestors, District Congress Committee President Geeta Vagle said, "The Modi government has been fooling people by giving false assurances in the past four years. The black money has not returned yet which they had promised in their manifesto. The Ganga River is not cleaned, jobs are not created. In all, Modi has betrayed people of the country."
Speaking at the occasion, AICC member Amrut Shenoy said that the BJP, which had opposed foreign investment during the UPA government, has now invested foreign capital in railways and defense. Modi, who had been sternly opposed to Pakistan before coming to power, visited Pakistan that too without invitation.”
“In the four years' Modi rule, ‘achhe din’ have not come to anybody. Prime Minister Modi should answer whether India and banks are in profit. Youths are becoming victims of BJP's political Hindutva,” he criticised.
Congress leaders Janardhan Thonse, Meenakshi Madhava Bannanje, Narasimhamurthy, Janardhan Bhandarkar, Varonika Kernelio, Malyady Shivarama Shetty, Shankar Kundar, Kishan Hegde Kolkebailu, Sarasu D Bangera, Sarala Kanchan, Dr. Sunita Shetty, Bhaskar Rao Kidiyoor and others were present.
