Centre failed to keep promises: Owaisi
Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that the Modi government was ‘not strong’ against those accused in bomb blast cases who were Hindus.
Hyderabad: Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that the Modi government was ‘not strong’ against those accused in bomb blast cases who were Hindus.
“When it comes to the issue of bomb blasts, whether it is Malegaon, Hyderabad Mecca Masjid and Ajmer, they (BJP-led NDA government) are not being strong on those accused just because they happened to be from the majority community,” he said while discussing his assessment of the Modi government's two years in office.
The Hyderabad MP also said, “The BJP promised 1.20 crore jobs to youngsters every year. Hardly, five lakh jobs were created. They promised that prices would come down. Prices are skyrocketing, whether it’s pulses or other essential commodities.”
Despite the price of crude oil sliding to USD 35 a barrel as compared to USD 85-90 when the BJP came to power, retail prices of petrol and diesel had not come down, he said, adding that the government had increased excise duty more than eight times.
“On the economic front, no policy at all, on containing inflation, nothing. The BJP has failed to deliver on these promises,” Owaisi told a news agency. Reacting to whether India is moving towards a ‘Congress- Mukt Bharat’ as suggested by the BJP as the party fared badly in the recent round of Assembly elections, he said, “It is for the Congress to decide because they want to tackle the BJP, but they moved a resolution of suspension of AIMIM MLA Waris Pathan for not saying that slogan 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ in Maharashtra Assembly.
