UP election 2017: BJP manifesto is a bundle of lies, says UP Congress chief Raj Babbar
The Congress leader demanded to know if the BJP will compensate the families that lost their livelihood and family members during the two-month long demonetisation crisis.
UP Congress president and Rajya Sabha MP Raj Babbar commenting on the BJP manifesto said that it was a bundle of lies and that the BJP was trying to hide its lies behind the Ram Temple issue.
Talking to India Today, Babbar said that the BJP had promised 2 crore employments, when it came to power in 2014 but that promise has been nothing but hot air, which PM Modi is quite adept at venting.
The Congress leader demanded to know if the BJP will compensate the families that lost their livelihood and their family members during the two-month long demonetisation crisis. He said that the people were deceived in 2015, they won't be deceived again.
Babbar said that the BJP has tried to deceive the people of UP through this manifesto but the massive support received by the joint SP-Congress roadshow in Lucknow is the evidence of how badly the BJP is going to be hurt this time in the assembly elections. He said that the people of UP, as well as the country, are expressing their happiness at witnessing the development of Uttar Pradesh and in the future, the SP-Congress coalition will also rule the country.
PEOPLE WILL TEACH BJP A LESSON
Attacking PM Narendra Modi, he said that there is a vast difference between what the PM says and does. He said, "PM had made several tall promises for the development of Agra in 2013 before he got elected, but none of these promises were fulfilled. 2019 elections are still far and the people will teach Modi a lesson during the UP assembly election."
Babbar claimed the only agenda of the BJP was to divide the country and its people on the lines of religion, caste and colour, whereas the Congress takes the entire nation with itself in its journey.
