Modi governmnet has destroyed the developments achieved by UPA: Manmohan Singh
Bengaluru: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has charged that the Modi government has destroyed the developments achieved by the UPA government in four years.
Speaking to reporters today in Bengaluru, Singh said the Modi led NDA government did not handle the economy properly.
"Prime Minister Modi hasn't held a single press conference in the last four years. That itself is a reflection of the state of affairs," the former prime minister remarked.
"Our nation today is experiencing difficult times. Our farmers are facing an acute crisis, our aspirational youth are not finding opportunities, and the economy is growing below its potential," Singh said. He said the "unfortunate truth" was that each of these crises was "entirely avoidable".
“It is shocking that a prime minister stoops so low and uses such language and phraseology which is unbecoming of a prime minister, particularly when he is in a state where elections are taking place. No prime minister has used election time to say things in manner that Modiji has been trying. I sincerely hope he will now learn a lesson and not seek to polarise the society," Mr. Singh added.
When asked about various issues, the Prime Minister blames 70 years of Congress rule. He has forgotten the Green Revolution and have forgotten the UPA government’s policies that have brought millions of people out of poverty, “Mr. Singh said.
