100 days of PM Modi govt: No solution or vision for country’s problems, says Congress

New Delhi: Indian National Congress, on the completion of 100 days of prime minister Narendra Modi-led Union government, released a poster campaign highlighting the plight of farmers, youth, women, infrastructure, railways, Chinese incursions and the law and order situation in Manipur.

Supriya Shrinate, chairperson of social media and digital platforms of All India Congress Committee said, “These 100 days have proven that PM Modi has neither a solution nor a vision for the country’s problems. His habit of turning a blind eye to issues and running away from challenges continues to persist.”

‘Instability, indecision and immaturity’

Highlighting that the 100 days of government were filled with instability, indecision and immaturity, Shrinate said, “There have been multiple attempts to inflate a punctured balloon, but the thorn pricked by the public in the Lok Sabha elections has not given Narendra Modi any chance to rise again. Modi has proven to be a weak prime minister, setting new records for U-turns.”

The poster campaign highlighted points on Parliament bills, train accidents, Chinese incursions, increasing inflation, Adani-SEBI alleged conflict of interest and Manipur violence. These were the points highlighted under each issue by the Congress party leaders in their public statement.
