PM Modi Says Congress ‘Badly Exposed’ After Kharge’s Advice on Poll Guarantees

PM Modi on Congress poll guarantees: On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the Congress party after Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge told his state units that they should make only those promises that can be “fiscally doable”.

During a press conference, Kharge added, "In Maharashtra I've said that they shouldn't announce 5, 6, 10 or 20 guarantees. They should announce guarantees based on budget."

Congress chief also added, “Otherwise, there'll be bankruptcy. If there's no money for roads, everyone will turn against you. If this government fails, the future generation will be left with nothing but a bad name. They'll have to live in exile for 10 years.”

After Kharge comment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a tweet that reads, “The Congress Party is realising the hard way that making unreal promises is easy but implementing them properly is tough or impossible. Campaign after campaign they promise things to the people, which they also know they will never be able to deliver. Now, they stand badly exposed in front of the people!”

PM Modi said, "Check any state where the Congress has Governments today - Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana- the developmental trajectory and fiscal health is turning from bad to worse."

He further added, “Their so-called Guarantees lie unfulfilled, which is a terrible deceit upon the people of these states. The victims of such politics are the poor, youngsters, farmers and women, who are not only denied the benefits of these promises but also see their existing schemes diluted.”

While concluding, the prime minister added, “The people of the country will have to be vigilant against the Congress-sponsore culture of fake promises! We saw recently how the people of Haryana rejected their lies and preferred a Government that is stable, progress oriented and action-driven.”

India is growing realisation that voting for Congress means a vote for lack of government, poor economics and unparalleled loot. PM Modi added, “The people of India want development and progress, not the same old #FakePromisesOfCongress!"
