BJP's JP Nadda slams Congress, accuses party of 'false promises in bid for power' in Telangana

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda attacked the Congress once again at a rally in Telangana's Peddapalli on Monday. Targeting the grand old party, he said corruption, policy paralysis and indecisiveness were the biggest concerns during the Congress rule. Addressing the public at Peddapalli he said, "We have seen the era when Congress was ruling, and when we recall that, we must remember the concerns of corruption, policy paralysis and indecisiveness that entailed their governance model and Congress again wants to push the nation back in the same era."

He added further, "Congress tries to come to power by hook or by crook, through fake promises, fake slogans, politics of vote bank, and criminals. Today, under Modi ji's leadership, India has shunned dynastic politics and is moving forward with the politics of development." JP Nadda also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and claimed that the country is making strides towards becoming Atmanirbhar Bharat, while adding, "We are moving forward with the idea of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'. Bharat is shining as a global leader. In Modi 3.0, India will become 3rd largest world economy."

The BJP National President in his speech mentioned about India's achievements in sectors like automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals. He said, " I would also like to mention that in the sector of automobiles, India ranks third and has left Japan behind. In the sector of pharmaceuticals and manufacturing medicines, the country stands in second position. We have left behind the other countries and today, India is making one of the most cheap and effective medicines. In petrochemicals, the country stands at the third position..."

Nadda also emphasised the development and infrastructure for the Modi government and said, "For development, Modi ji's policy has put special emphasis on infrastructure and logistics. We are working on the HIRA- Highways, Internet, Railways and Airways, model of development This model is enhancing connectivity and internet accessibility in remote areas." 

Counting the achievements, Nadda said, "India today has built 56,000 km of national highway, and 52,000 km of railway tracks have gone through electrification. 26,000 km of new railway tracks have been laid. About 1.5 lakh panchayats were connected through the internet and in two lakh panchayats, Common Service Centres have been built... In 2014, there were 74 airports and now there are 148 airports."
