New Delhi: Congress has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using his Independence Day speech to make announcements without ever following through on them.
Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said for seven years the country has been listening to the ‘same speeches’ by the Prime Minister but nothing is being done for any aggrieved section, including small farmers.
The Congress also shared his Independence Day speeches of 2019, 2020 and 2021, where he is heard talking about the Rs 100 lakh crore investment in infrastructure.
“It has been two years since August 15, 2019. At least, the 100 lakh crore figure could have been changed,” Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a tweet in Hindi while posting the news of the Prime Minister’s I-Day speech in 2019.
Modi in his speech on Sunday outlined the roadmap for a new and assertive India and announced a slew of development programmes, including a landmark Rs 100 lakh crore ‘Gatishakti’ initiative to boost infrastructure and employment opportunities.
