Congress releases ‘Black Paper’ on Modi government

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday released ‘black paper’ on the ‘failures’ of Prime Minister Narender Modi-led Central government in the last 10 years.

“Congress ensured country’s independence and in 2024, it will take country out of BJP’s ‘darkness of injustice’,” Kharge said.

“There is a danger to democracy in the country…In last 10 years, 411 MLAs were taken on their by the BJP. They toppled so many Congress governments. They are finishing democracy.”

“Whenever they put their point in the Parliament, they (BJP) tell others about their success and hide their failures. And when we point out their failures then it does not receive that much importance. So, we thought of releasing a black paper against the (Modi) government.”

“It was Modi’s guarantee to provide 2 crore jobs, ensure MSP to farmers; he could not do it and now has come up with new guarantees.”

The Congress president said that the party is raising the issues of unemployment and discrimination with opposition-ruled Southern states.

“We are raising the main issue of unemployment, which the BJP never talks about…There is discrimination being done with non-BJP states like Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana…”
