Modi wave is a burden: Gulam Nabi Azad
Udupi, May 9: Rajya Sabha Member and Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad said that Modi wave seen in 2014 has become a burden instead of property today.
Speaking to reporters at Kaup near here on Wednesday, Azad said that the NDA government led by Narendra Modi is limited to just false assurances, meaningless slogans and campaigns. There is no reality. His promises of creating two crore job opportunities every year and giving at least 50 per cent of production cost as support price for farmers have remained as slogans. In reality, thousands of people have been losing their jobs every year in the country, he said.
Narendra Modi government has restricted itself to announce the programmes instead of implementation. But between 2004 and 2014, the UPA government led by Dr Manmohan Singh had given less promises and implemented double programmes. The MNREGS implemented by the UPA government is the world No.1 social programme due to which more than 13 crore families have got jobs. More than 65 percent of people were benefitted from food security programme in the country. But Narendra Modi has promised of bringing moon, but failed to fulfill them. The BJP which has failed in national level has lost faith even in Karnataka. Both BJP and its leaders have no moral right to talk about corruption free Congress government in the state, he said.
Siddaramaiah has fulfilled the promises given to the people during last election. So, the Congress would once again come to power with sweeping majority in the state, he said. \\
It is not fair to mix religion with politics. The Congress believed that both politics and religion are two separate entities. The Congress would respect all religions. But they would not do Dharmakarana (Religious Politics). Karnataka people are intelligent and they could understand which is good and which is bad. Prime Minister Modi who says he would not entertain corruption, has announced Yeddyurappa as CM candidate, he ridiculed.
