New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI): Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Tuesday alleged that the Narendra Modi-led government did not fulfil the promises it made five years ago and said it had achieved "nothing".
The former finance minister said the BJP-led government began its term with promises of development, jobs and depositing money into people's bank accounts, but now it is promising grand temples, statues and doles.
Chidambaram's remarks alluded to the recent inauguration of a giant statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel by Modi and the BJP's promise to build a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram.
"At the beginning of five years, the promise is for development, jobs and money in every citizen's bank account. Nothing achieved, at the end of five years, the new promise is for grand temples, giant statues and doles," the Congress leader said in a tweet.
With Lok Sabha elections fast approaching, Chidambaram has been targeting the Modi government over its alleged failure to fulfil the pre-poll promises made by his party.

Tue, Nov 06 2018The Gujarat Model of Development was a dirty joke played by the BJP on the people of India. Apart from all the failed and hollow promises, the Modi Sarkar has been a total failure on all fronts.
Our Beloved country deserves a change so that we can arrest this aimless drift and bring our country back on track.

Tue, Nov 06 2018No No PC.. You are wrong.. Here are this Cowernments acheivements
1.Electoral bonds — It basically legalizes corruption and allows corporates & foreign powers to just buy our political parties. The bonds are anonymous so if a corporate says ‘I’ll give you an electoral bond of Rs 1,000 crore if you pass this specific policy, there will be no prosecution’,
2.Planning Commission reports —This used to be a major source for data. They audited government schemes and stated how things are going. With that gone, there just is no choice but to believe whatever data the government gives you
3.Misuse of CBI and ED — The fear that these institutions will be unleashed on people if they speak up against anything Modi/Shah-related is real.
4.Failure to investigate Kalikho Pul’s suicide note, Judge Loya’s death, Sohrabuddin murder and many more...
5.Demonetisation — It failed, All propaganda of it cutting terror funding, reducing black cash, eliminating corruption is just absurd.
6.GST Implementation — The tax regime was implemented in a hurry and harmed business. Complicated structure, multiple rates on different items, complex filing…
7.The messed up foreign policy with pure grandstanding — China has a port in Sri Lanka, huge interests in Bangladesh and Pakistan (we’re surrounded); the failure in Maldives
8.Failure of schemes and failure to acknowledge/course correct — Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana, Make In India, Skill Development, Fasal Bima, Failure to acknowledge unemployment and farmers crisis
9.The high prices of Petrol and Diesel
10.Failure to engage with the most important basic issues — Education and Healthcare.
11. Rafale - Buying an aircraft at an absurd price and play crony capitalist game to exclude HAL and award contract to Reliance..
The list will go on and on.. you cannot deny the Pee Party the credit for all these...

In a stunning revelation, a company owned by the BJP President Amit Shah’s son, Jay Amitbhai Shah, grew by 16,000 times after Narendra Modi formed the government at the Centre and the former became the saffron party’s chief.
