Modi’s two-year rule disappointing: Congress

“Modi, why are you celebrating. Is there prosperity all around the nation,” party spokesperson Kapil Sibal said adding, these were two years of hollow promises.
The Congress leaders also contrasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s performance vis-a-vis his predecessor Manmohan Singh under UPA rule.
The Opposition party alleged that the NDA government is surviving just on advertisements. “Singh did not talk much but his work was bespeaking. Modi keeps on talking but his work speaks of nothing. I challenge Modi government, any of its minister to come and debate with us,” Sibal said. “Modi why are you celebrating. Is Varanasi (Modi’s Parliamentary constituency) clean now? Have the youths got employment? Did the farmers’ suicide stop? What has happened in last two years that you are celebrating?”
