Hyderabad: Accusing the Congress of spreading lies on Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leader N Indrasena Reddy said that the Congress’s sole agenda was to development that the Centre was bringing about in the country.
"If Congress does not realise its mistakes, similar humiliation would follow elsewhere also"
Addressing a press conference, Reddy said that Congress was jealous about the plaudits the BJP led NDA government was receiving across the world and therefore decided to use its majority in the Rajya Sabha as a weapon to block development. “Our government is trying to improve the economic situation and reenergise the country after a decade of corrupt Congress rule. Instead of helping us in this endeavor, the Congress is blocking development,” he accused. The senior leader said that Congress was unable to digest its defeat in this year’s general elections. He warned that if it did not realise its mistakes, similar humiliation would follow elsewhere also. “Even in state legislature elections, the Congress is slipping away,” remarked Reddy.
Reddy accused the Congress of spreading lies and false statements in its booklet ‘Modi’s U-turn’, which claimed that the BJP government was going back on its word in several issues. Charting out the BJP government’s achievements in the past six months, he said that the GDP increased to 5.6 per cent, while prices were constantly falling. Attributing this to the PM’s efforts to lure global investors, he said that the government was committed to providing development and opportunities to all. Progress was also being made on issues like bringing back black money, separate courts for politicians and other promises made by the party before elections.
