PM said false things about UPA,only criticising Cong: Kharge

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday of speaking false things about the UPA government and claimed that his speech in the Rajya Sabha was only focused on criticising the Congress and did not touch upon the issues of unemployment, price rise and economic inequality.Talking about Modi's reply to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge said "those who do not believe in the Constitution are preaching on patriotism to the Congress"."Modiji, in your speeches in both the Houses, you only cursed the Congress. Despite being in power for 10 years, instead of talking about himself, he only criticises the Congress party.He did not talk about price rise, unemployment and economic inequality. "Actually, the government does not have any data. NDA itself means No Data Available government -- Census 2021 has not been conducted, there is no employment data, there is no health survey. The government hides all the statistics and spreads lies." "Modi ki Guarantee is only to spread lies," Kharge said.He said the progress that India has made in digital transformation, its foundation was laid by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) under the Aadhaar-DBT-bank account framework. "We had already enrolled 65 crore Aadhaar cards till 2014 and direct transfer of subsidies had started under DBT-PAHAL. Under Swabhiman Yojana, we had also opened 33 crore bank accounts for the poor," Kharge noted.

संविधान को नहीं माननेवाले, जिन्होंने दंडी मार्च और “भारत छोड़ो आंदोलन” में शामिल नहीं हुए वो लोग आज कांग्रेस को राष्ट्रभक्ति का ज्ञान दे रहे हैं।

मोदी जी ने UPA सरकार पर अनगिनत झूठी बातें कहीं। मैं पूछना चाहता हूँ —

1️⃣UPA के दौरान बेरोज़गारी दर 2.2% था, आपके दौरान 45 सालों…
