Saturday (December 14): Former prime minister Manmohan Singh today alleged that his successor Narendra Modi misled the people by making “lofty promises” which he “failed” to fulfil.
He was addressing a mega ‘Bharat Bachao’ (Save India) rally at the Ramlila grounds.
The Congress leader said Modi had promised to take the country’s economy to USD 5 trillion by 2024, double farmers’ income and provide two crore new jobs every year for youths.
“Six years ago, Narendra Modi showed lofty promises to people. Now it has been proved that all these promises were false and he has failed in fulfilling all the promises made and the people of the country were misled,” he said.
In his brief address, Manmohan Singh urged the people to strengthen the Congress party and the hands of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in order “to take the country forward in the right direction”.
He also urged Congress workers present at the rally in large numbers to take the message of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to every nook and corner of the country.
