PM Mobile App of no use: Congress

New Delhi: The Congress on Sunday took a jibe at the Prime Minister over his ‘Narendra Modi Mobile App’, saying it will at least help him stay connected with problems of the farmer, poor, minorities and dalits in the country as he is busy all the time travelling across the world.

 

“We are happy that he has announced an app in which he has said you can send your grievances directly to him. He is a very busy person. The PM has to travel. His connect was excellent when he was not the PM. He used to talk to people and communicate.

 

“Since he is the PM, he has been extremely busy and now you have an app in place which can ensure that there is communication with people in India. This communication will help improve relations in India at least so that women and minorities are protected,” Congress spokesperson Tom Vaddakan said.

 

In his monthly radio programme ‘Mann ki Baat’, the PM has asked the youth to share their views with him through the ‘Narendra Modi Mobile App’ on the five-day National Youth Festival, a yearly programme to mark Swami Vivekananda’s birthday, which will commence in Raipur in Chhattisgarh on January 12. Vadakkan said the PM can also address the issue of intolerance through this app.

 

“Farmers can address their grievances directly, unemployment can be addressed through the app. If there is a situation disturbing, like a riot, intolerance in any part of the country, you can address it to the PM directly without having any emissary,” he said.
