PM giving same speech for 7 yrs, but no impact on ground: Cong
New Delhi: 16.08.2021
Congress on Sunday accused PM Narendra Modi of using his Independence Day speech to make announcements without ever following through on them.
Leader of opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said for seven years India has listened to the “same speeches” by the PM with nothing being done for any aggrieved section, including small farmers.
“He announces new schemes, but these are never implemented or seen on the ground. And now, by bringing the three new farm laws, he has spelled doom for the farmers,” he said.
Kharge also took exception to the PM targeting previous regimes on the issues of small farmers and development, saying the country will not progress by criticising Congress from the ramparts of the Red Fort again and again.
“Congress has done a lot of work like providing irrigation systems for the farmers. Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi waived farmers’ debt when the UPA was in power,” he said.
CPM chief Sitaram Yechury said the PM failed to offer an assurance on the Covid situation or the shortage of vaccines.
Congress’s communication chief Randeep Surjewala also took a swipe at the PM over his announcement of Rs 100 lakh crore investment in the infrastructure sector, saying this was merely a repeat of what was announced in 2019. TNN
