Even as the Narendra Modi government is celebrating its second year anniversary, the Congress has claimed that the BJP-led NDA regime is only repackaging the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) schemes.
Addressing the joint press conference, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Kapil Sibal and Randeep Singh Surjewala alleged that the two years of the Modi government has been full of "hollow promises".
"Modi is all talk and no work. Farmers are battling drought. In Bundelkhand, they are being forced to eat grass and chapati. (Bhasan veer Modi Karamveer Modi nahi ban paye, Kisan sukhe se grasth hain. Bundelkhand main roti aur ghaas khane par majboor hain)," Surjewala said.
"This government is only repackaging the previous government schemes. Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) is now Swachch Bharat Abhiyan, Planning Commission is now Niti Ayaog," Azad said.
Terming the performance of two-year-old Modi Government as the "most disappointing" for any dispensation since Independence, Congress said there is little to celebrate for the country.
"I want to ask Modiji why this celebration. Is there prosperity all around in the nation? Youths haven't got jobs, farmers are still committing suicide, farmers are not making any profits so why this celebration," Sibal added.
The opposition party alleged that the NDA government is "surviving just on advertisements" and challenged it for debate.
The AICC also released a short film titled "pragati ki tham gai chaal, do saal, desh ka bura haal (The pace of progress has been halted, the country in a bad shape in two years)", slamming the government on 10 issues, besides making a power-point presentation which projected the government's performance as "abysmal".
