A row erupted after PM Narendra Modi criticised Congress for unfulfilled promises, leading Mallikarjun Kharge to accuse BJP of deceit.
Narendra Modi vs Mallikarjun Kharge: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks targeting Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over election promises have sparked a heated political exchange. The Opposition party on Friday responded sharply, accusing the ruling party of deception, saying that the “B” in BJP stands for “betrayal” and the “J” for “jumla” (empty promises).
Coming down heavily on PM Narendra Modi over his statement that the Congress failed to deliver on its promises in Karnataka, Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said “lies, deceit, fraud, loot and publicity” are the five adjectives that best define the BJP government at the centre.
“Lies, Deceit, Fakery, Loot & Publicity are the 5 adjectives which best describe your Govt! Your drumbeating regarding a 100-day plan was a cheap PR stunt! On May 16, 2024, you also claimed that you took inputs from more than 20 lakh people for the road map for 2047. RTI filed in PMO declined to put forth details, exposing your LIES!” Mallikarjun Kharge posted on X.
Launching a scathing attack on the central government, the Congress president said, “ The ‘B’ in BJP stands for Betrayal, while the ‘J’ stands for ‘Jhumla’. Setting the record straight.”
