    Welcome to Congress... The only party which thinks about poor and which supported poor people of India. The party which developed India to new heights.

    All the members of the BJP know the truth that they are yielding the fruits of economic growth because of the initiatives of Dr Manmohan Singh's UPA Government but don't have the guts to speak out. The demonetisation, a monumental failure of the Modi Government, was rightly pointed out by the Economist Mr Jean that it resulted in "Firing at the tires of a speeding car" (a reference to a growing economy brought to an abrupt halt) and proved to be true with cash and corruption thriving under the present Central Government. Karnataka a BJP-ruled State has the notorious distinction of earning the honour of being called "40% Government" an allegation made by the Contractors. Needless to state the scams in Recruitment in Karnataka. The desperation of the Modi Government to convince the Supreme Court to shelve the demonetisation case as a case of mere "ACADEMIC" nature clearly reflects the Government behaving like an OSTRICH burying its head in sand for its blunders afraid of facing the issue in Court. SHAME ON THE MODI GOVERNMENT. The nation awaits a JUST verdict on DEMONETISATION.

    Read between the lines . He meant the reforms by Manmohan singh was under the able leadership of Late PM Narasimha Rao and not under the present Gandhi's . Even Modi always praises Narasimha Rao for his vision and for approving reforms .
