Modi’s factory of lies won’t work forever, says Kharge

Hitting out at the BJP for alleging that the Congress election manifesto bore the imprint of the Muslim League, party president Mallikarjun Kharge Saturday asserted that “Modi’s factory of lies” won’t work forever.

At a rally at Kayakuchi in Assam’s Barpeta district, he said unemployment is a big problem and 65% of youths have no jobs. Calling Modi a “sardar (leader) of liars”, Kharge alleged the PM was lying about providing 2 crore jobs annually, bringing back black money to the country and giving Rs 15 lakh to each citizen, and doubling farmers’ income. “The INDIA bloc will come to power and stop the BJP. Once our government comes to power, we will control inflation and our focus will be on the poor. We will fill up 30 lakh posts in government departments,” he said.

“Modi’s factory of lies won’t last forever. He even called the Congress manifesto Muslim League’s manifesto and spoke lies,” he said. “PM Modi waived Rs 16 lakh crore loans of his few rich friends. But we will never loot and divide the country like BJP and RSS that are experts in creating fights between communities, castes and religions,” he said.

Meanwhile, in Guwahati, Kharge said party candidates for Amethi and Raebareli will be announced in a “few days”. “When candidate names come from people to me and I sign the notification, it will be announced,” he said.
