Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Prithviraj Chavan said on Tuesday that no decision benefiting the common man had been taken by the BJP-led NDA government.
He also said that the impact of 100-days of NDA government would be seen in the upcoming Assembly elections.
He posted the following on the micro-blogging site Twitter:
At the same time he took a dig at PM’s sppech, which would be broadcast live, on Teachers Day. The comments by Chavan comes in the wake of Narendra Modi-led government’s completion of hundred days in office.
The BJP won a spectacular victory in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and won 182 seats on its own and crossed the 300 mark along with its allies.
Modi took oath as the Prime Minister on May 26.
Earlier in the day, Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma too, at the AICC briefing dubbed Modi as a “dream merchant”, who came to power by selling “false hopes” and dismissed the 100 days of his rule as high on rhetoric and low on performance.
“Modi sold false dreams that cannot be realised. He promised all things to all people. Rahul Gandhi did not do it. He did not give false assurances and refused to be a dream merchant. Rahul is sincere and hence he did not do all this,” he said, as reported by PTI.
Alleging that BJP captured power by making lofty promises and selling unrealistic dreams, he said the 100 days story of this government has proved to be “disappointing.”
He also said the government’s functioning has, so far, been “characterised by non-fulfilment of promises, undermining of institutions, compromising of administration and governance and promotion of work culture nurtured by distrust and fear”.
Sharma asked the PM to “explain why 18 of his ministers are facing serious criminal charges compelling the Supreme Court to observe that it is for the Prime Minister to ensure that those having criminals charges are not promoted. He is the head of the government. Why he brought such people in the Cabinet?”
Expressing concern over the situation along borders with Pakistan and China, Sharma said there were ceasefire violations day in and day out from Islamabad, which was witnessed only before the Kargil conflict.
Attacking the government on the black money issue, he said while BJP and its then Prime Ministerial candidate promised to bring back black money, which was according to them to the tune of 85 lakh crore, “even 85 paisa are yet to come while the government is completing 100 days”.
