New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attack on the issue of electoral guarantee and said that before pointing fingers at the main opposition party, the Prime Minister should note that "Modi's guarantee" is a cruel joke with 140 crore Indian citizens. He accused the Prime Minister of lying, deceit and fraud and also claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party means betrayal and jumla. Prime Minister Modi launched a big attack on Congress after Kharge's statement on election promises. He said that the Congress party is now realizing that it is easy to make false promises, but it is difficult or impossible to implement them. 

Kharge had said that promise only as much as you can fulfill

In fact, Congress President Kharge on Wednesday slammed his government in Karnataka. He expressed displeasure over the review of the free bus scheme (Shakti). Kharge had said that promise only as much as you can fulfill. Kharge posted on 'X', "Narendra Modi ji, lies, deceit, fraud, loot and propaganda, these are the 5 adjectives that best describe your government. Your drum beating about the 100-day plan was a cheap PR stunt." He said, "On May 16, 2024, you also claimed that you had taken opinions from more than 20 lakh people for the roadmap of 2047. The RTI filed in the PMO refused to give details, exposing your lie." 

Why is the unemployment rate at its highest level in 45 years?

He claimed that the 'B' in BJP (BJP) stands for betrayal while the 'J' stands for Jumla. "2 crore jobs were promised per year but why is the unemployment rate in India at a 45-year high? Why is there a stampede wherever there are vacancies for a handful of jobs? Who is responsible for 70 paper leaks in 7 years? Who snatched 5 lakh government jobs by selling stakes in PSUs?" he questioned. 

Why did the price of thali increase by 52 percent?

He asked why domestic savings have fallen to a 50-year low and why the price of a common thali has increased by 52 per cent last year? Kharge claimed, "The rupee is at an all-time low. Is it in the ICU or in the Margdarshak Mandal? Your government has borrowed more than Rs 150 lakh crore in the last 10 years, that is, every Indian has a debt of Rs 1.5 lakh. He alleged that MSMEs have been destroyed through the flawed GST. 

Economic inequality is at a 100-year high 

The Congress president claimed that the economic inequality in the country is at a 100-year high. "What happened to developed India? Everything you claim to have built is crumbling like a pack of cards. The Shivaji statue in Maharashtra inaugurated by you, the roof of the Delhi airport, the Ram temple in Ayodhya collapsed and cracks appeared in the Atal Setu," Kharge said. He said countless rail accidents have taken place while the "reel minister" is busy campaigning! "What happened to na khaunga, na khane doonga? 

Looting through electoral bonds 

We have only two words for you - Modani mega scam and SEBI chairman. Looting through unconstitutional electoral bonds by extorting money is the biggest financial crime of the BJP." What happened to "Main Desh Nahi Jhukne Doonga" (I will not let the country fall) he asked. "India ranks 105 (2024) in the Global Hunger Index while it ranks 134 in the UN Human Development Index," Kharge said. He claimed that after Galwan, the prime minister gave a clean chit to China, the red carpet was rolled out for Chinese investments and relations with every neighbouring country soured. 

Increase in crimes against scheduled castes 

Kharge questioned what happened to Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Jai Kisan, Jai Jawan? He claimed, "Crime against Scheduled Castes has increased by 46 percent, while crime against Scheduled Tribes has increased by 48 percent. Crimes against SC/ST women and children saw a 1.7 times increase in 2022 compared to 2014." He sarcastically said, "Jumla of doubling farmers' income by 2022. Denial of legal guarantee for MSP. GST on 35 agricultural commodities. Converting permanent recruitment in armed forces to temporary through Agnipath. Modi ji, before pointing a finger, please note that Modi's guarantee is a cruel joke with 140 crore Indians."
