PM Modi Criticizes Congress for “Unreal Promises” in Election Campaigns, Urges Voters to Stay Vigilant

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently took aim at the Congress party’s election campaign promises, accusing them of making “unreal promises” that are financially unfeasible. Responding to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent appeal for realistic commitments, Modi remarked that Congress is now facing the consequences of over-promising and under-delivering. He criticized the fiscal health and development record in Congress-ruled states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana, which he claims have suffered from unmet guarantees. Modi noted that vulnerable groups, such as the poor, youth, farmers, and women, ultimately bear the burden of unkept promises, as existing programs are weakened. Additionally, he pointed to Congress’s internal conflicts in Karnataka as further hindering governance. His remarks are part of a broader appeal for voter vigilance, emphasizing what he called Congress’s “culture of fake promises.”
