New Delhi: In a bid to question the alleged failures of the BJP-led NDA government, the Congress party has said that it will launch a nation-wide agitation against the former on July 22.
“It has been more than a year since the BJP achieved the feat of getting a majority on its own. Narendra Modi, who had mobilised public opinion in his favour by making huge promises on one hand and blaming every ill in the country on the Congress-led UP on the other. But, his tenure has been marked by his deafening silence amid scandal after scandal that his party is embroiled in,” said Congress national spokesperson Rita Bahuguna Joshi while addressing the media.

Joshi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he was busy in clicking selfies even as his party leaders were found to be involved in controversies.

“On July 22, we will be staging demonstrations across all districts in the country wherein we will be explaining to the people how they were being taken for a ride by those who had secured their votes,” Joshi said. “We would do so with the hope that the government shows some sense of responsibility and the Prime Minister breaks his silence on the burning issues facing the nation”, she added.

She also made a mention of the ongoing Vyapam scam while questioning the PM’s silence on the same. “We are yet to hear anything from him on the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh which besides involving financial irregularities, has claimed so many lives in its trail,” Joshi said.
