Apart from it, the BJP also promised to reimburse revenue deficit arising out bifurcation of the State, he said. The BJP, after coming to power, had reneged on its promises and fulfilled not even one promise, he said. The APCC chief said the BJP led by Narendra Modi had promised to bring back the black money in 100 days.
However, even after 364 days, the party had failed to get even single rupee of black money from the foreign banks, he said. He also criticised the BJP government for its failure to bring down the prices of essential commodities in 100 days. The prices of all essential commodities had gone up alarmingly, he said.
He recalled that the petrol and diesel prices were at Rs 75 and Rs 57 a litre respectively during the UPA government when the crude oil price was at $ 145. However in the past one year, the crude oil price in the international market had come down to $ 60 dollars, he said, but the Modi government kept the price of petrol at Rs 75 per liter and diesel at Rs 59 a litre.
He accused the NDA government of being pro-corporate and anti-people. The APCC vice-president Devineni Rajasekhar Nehru, senior Congress leaders L Eswara Rao, Malladi Vishnu, Kadiyala Butchi Babu, Kolanukonda Sivaji, Akula Srinivas Kumar, Meesala Rajeswara Rao, Devineni Avinash, Badita Shankar and others were present at the news conference.
