PM Modi attacks Congress over ‘false promises’ after Kharge’s advice to party leaders – all you need to know

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (November 1) launched a scathing attack on the Congress after party chief Mallikarjun Kharge advised party leaders to ensure their promises are “financially feasible”.

“The Congress Party learns the hard way that making unrealistic promises is easy, but implementing them properly is difficult or impossible. Campaign after campaign, they promise people things they know they can never deliver. Now they have been greatly exposed to the people!” prime minister published on X.

PM Modi’s statement comes a day after Mallikarjun Kharge publicly criticized the Karnataka government when Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar suggested that key guarantees of the Congress government would be reviewed.

“You promised five guarantees in Karnataka. Inspired by you, we have promised five guarantees in Maharashtra. Today you mentioned that you would cancel one of these guarantees. It seems you don’t all read newspapers, but I do. So, I am telling you this,” Kharge said at a press conference also attended by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy D.K. Shivakumar.

Addressing the Congress, Prime Minister Modi raised the issue of governance in Congress-ruled states, highlighting deteriorating development progress and fiscal health.

“Check any state where there are Congress governments today – Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana – the development trajectory and financial condition are getting worse and worse,” the Prime Minister said.

“Their so-called guarantees remain unfulfilled, which is a terrible deception for the residents of these states. The victims of such policies are the poor, youth, farmers and women who are not only deprived of the benefits of these promises but also see their existing schemes being eroded,” he added.

Prime Minister Modi also warned the public against what he called the Congress-sponsored culture of “false promises”.

“The people of the country will have to be vigilant against the Congress sponsored culture of false promises! We have recently seen how the people of Haryana rejected their lies and preferred a stable, progress-oriented and purpose-driven government,” the Prime Minister said. further stated.

“In Karnataka, the Congress is more busy with intra-party politics and loot instead of even taking care of development. Not only that, they are also going to wind down the existing schemes. In Himachal Pradesh, salaries of government employees are not paid on time. In Telangana, farmers are waiting for the promised waiver. Earlier, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan promised certain incentives, which were not implemented for five years. There are many such examples of how the Congress works,” PM Modi said.

Replying to Prime Minister Modi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge countered by saying that lies, deceit, rigging, plunder and publicity are the five adjectives that best describe the present government. —

“Your drumbeat about the 100 day plan was a cheap PR stunt! On May 16, 2024, you also stated that you received input from more than 20 thousand people to create a roadmap for 2047. The RTI filed with the PMO declined to disclose details. , exposing your LIES! The ‘B’ in BJP stands for Betrayal and the ‘J’ stands for JUMLA,” Kharge wrote in his post on X.

“MODI KI’S GUARANTEE is a cruel joke on 140 crore Indians!” he added.
