It's u-turn govt, says Congress

NEW DELHI: Terming the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government as a "U Turn Sarkar", Congress launched a scathing attack on Monday on the Centre as it completed 100 days of its third term.

Congress launched its report card of 100 days on Monday and termed it as "100 days of instability, indecisiveness, and immaturity", accusing the NDA government of damaging critical sectors of the economy and public infrastructure. Addressing a press conference, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said, "These 100 days have been very heavy on the country's economy, farmers, youth, women, infrastructure, railways, and institutions." Shrinate added, "It has become clear that Narendra Modi has no vision to deal with the country's problems."

Shrinate accused the Modi government of making hasty policy decisions, only to later backtrack under public pressure. "If any of your decisions affect the country negatively, it won't become law because the government will take a U-turn on it," she said. Congress cited lateral entry, Broadcast Bill, reference of Waqf Board Bill to a parliamentary panel and introduction of unified pension scheme as significant policy reversals. "Narendra Modi's first 100 days symbolise not just U-turns, but a government that is fundamentally unsure of its direction," Shrinate remarked.


She went on to debunk the government's claims of progress in infrastructure development, citing multiple instances of structural failures in key projects.
