NEW DELHI: The BJP on Saturday asserted that it stood for credibility of promises made to people under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and the Congress for the crisis of credibility. The fresh salvo by the BJP against its rival party came amid a war of words between them over unkept poll pledges.
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said the ruling party had gradually enlarged the scope of its welfare schemes, ranging from health insurance to free grains and cash transfer for farmers, by resorting to first creation of wealth followed by its distribution as the size of the Indian economy grew over the past decade.
“We believe in first the creation of wealth and distribution. The Congress stands for creation of corruption and destruction of wealth,” he said. The leader flagged a host of alleged unfulfilled promises of Congress-led governments in different states. A day before Mallikarjun Kharge had claimed that “Modi ki guarantee” was a cruel joke on the people of India.
