The Modi government had caused immeasurable pain and suffering to Indians and betrayed their trust, Congress said Sunday as the NDA government completed seven years in office.

Listing out seven “blunders” by the government, from a failing economy to mishandling of the Covid pandemic, paucity of oxygen, rising unemployment and government’s inability to rein in foreign incursions on Indian soil, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the seven years accounted for “immeasurable pain, insurmountable devastation and unfathomable agony and anguish for a nation of 140 crore people”.

“Time has come to ask who is responsible for insurmountable devastation, agony and anguish and unfathomable pain that has been inflicted on the people of India,” he added.

Congress also released a seven-point chargesheet accusing the Modi government of abdicating its responsibility to people. MP Rahul Gandhi slammed the government for its alleged “misgovernance”. Rahul said the government needed to have the right intention, policy and determination to fight the pandemic, not just “monthly Mann ki Baat”.

Congress also defended its poor performance in elections and said its priority was to save the nation from the “Modi-made disaster”.

Sena slams Centre, calls for introspection

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday said India is surviving as a nation due to the good deeds of previous governments since the time of Nehru, and the present Modi government needs to introspect if it has been able to fulfil basic needs of people. “The country is surviving on the good deeds of previous governments since the time of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to Manmohan Singh... When you get majority, it means people have handed you power with faith and trust. The people's needs and demands are veryfew. They need livelihood. Roti, kapda makan (food, clothing and shelter) are important along with health and education facilities,” he said, adding the Centre should “introspect” if this has been achieved. PTI
