'Instead Of Presenting His Govt's Achievements, All He Did Was...': Kharge Targets PM Modi Over RS Speech

Mallikarjun Kharge criticised PM Modi's Rajya Sabha speech, highlighting that it was primarily focused on disparaging the Congress rather than addressing pressing concerns affecting the nation.

New Delhi: Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, accusing him of peddling falsehoods about the UPA government and neglecting critical issues such as unemployment, inflation, and economic disparity in his address to the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, news agency PTI reported.

Kharge criticised Modi's response to the debate on the ‘Motion of Thanks’ on the President's address, highlighting that the Prime Minister's speech was primarily focused on disparaging the Congress rather than addressing pressing concerns affecting the nation.

“Modiji, in both Houses of Parliament, all you did was vilify the Congress. Despite a decade in power, instead of presenting his achievements, he incessantly criticizes our party. Even today, he failed to address issues like inflation, unemployment, and economic inequality,” PTI quoted Kharge as saying.

He went on to slam the government's lack of data transparency, saying that the NDA, in essence, stands for "No Data Available" government. Kharge also highlighted the absence of crucial statistics such as the Census 2021, employment data, and health surveys, accusing the government of concealing information and propagating falsehoods.

"Modi ki Guarantee seems to only guarantee the dissemination of lies," PTI quoted Kharge as saying.

Kharge also targeted the Prime Minister over his “lecture” to the Congress on patriotism despite his alleged “disregard for constitutional principles” and historical movements like the Dandi March and the Quit India Movement.

He also pointed out the disparity in GDP growth rates between the UPA era and the current government, citing figures that showcased higher growth rates under the UPA's governance.

Kharge stressed the Congress-led UPA's role in driving digital transformation, citing initiatives like Aadhaar-DBT-bank account framework, which laid the groundwork for India's progress in this domain.

In response to Modi's comments on public sector undertakings (PSUs), Kharge criticised the government's privatisation policies.

He also highlighted the alarming number of vacant government positions, particularly in ministries catering to marginalised communities, and slammed the government's failure to address the widening gap between exports and imports.
