Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress saying it had followed a policy of “misguiding and depriving” the poor and noted that the nine years of BJP-led government have been dedicated to service to citizens and good governance.
Addressing a public meeting here, PM Modi said India’s achievements today were being praised across the world and alleged that people suffered before 2014 during the rule of Congress-led government. “Congress has cheated even the heroes. It is Congress that has been betraying our ex-servicemen in the name of ‘One Rank One Pension’. The BJP government not only implemented ‘One Rank One Pension’ but also gave arrears to ex-servicemen,” the Prime Minister said.
“Before 2014, people of the country were protesting against corruption, terrorist attacks used to take place, the Congress government was afraid to build roads on the border, there was a superpower above the PM and Congress givernment was functioning through remote control. However, you changed everything with your one vote in 2014. The entire world is talking about the development of India now,” he added.
