Four years of Modi govt: Mera bhashan hi mera prashasan hai, says Congress

Sharpening its attacks against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre, the Congress on Saturday directly targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP government at the Centre celebrated its fourth anniversary in power on Saturday. Congress spokesperson, Manish Tewari, told ANI that the "essence of the last four years is mera bhashan hi mera prashasan hai (my rhetoric is my governance)", when asked to judge the government on various parameters.

The statement of Tewari was a direct attack on Modi and his speeches. PM Modi is famous for his oratory skills and Tewari took a dig at it. Tewari added that "the Modi government has been an absolute catastrophe".

Babhujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati also criticised the Modi government on its big day on Saturday.

"This government has failed on all fronts. PM Modi terms everything he does as historic, I think that is why fuel prices are at a historic high during his government," she said to highlight the plight of commoners over daily increase of fuel prices in the last few days.

The BJP has lined up a series of big events to celebrate its fourth anniversary. The Modi government is celebrating its fourth year at a time when the entire nation is reeling under various problems. Four years since the BJP government came to power at the Centre, Modi's big promises of "Achhe Din" (Good Days) or "Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas" (Collective Efforts Inclusive Growth) remained mere slogans as the country is currently reeling under various problems, said a political analyst.
