Cong lacked will, intention to serve people: PM’s Fresh attack

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attacked the opposition Congress, saying its entire strength was used to ensure the progress of just one family.
All kinds of scams used to take place under the Congress regime, Modi said, adding that his government stopped all those things in the last 10 years.
The Congress lacked the will and intention to provide amenities to people, he said.
The PM was speaking after inaugurating and laying the foundation stones for various projects in Dwarka, including India’s longest cable-stayed bridge between Okha and Beyt Dwarka here in Gujarat.
“Those who ruled the country for a long time did not have the will power, intention and dedication to provide amenities to the common people,” Modi said.
“The entire strength of the Congress has been used to take one family forward. If everything was to be done only for one family then how would one remember to build the country? Its (Congress) entire energy was focused on how to run the government for five years and how to hide scams,” Modi said.
The Congress could make India’s economy only the 11th largest because the party did not have the capacity to fulfil big dreams of the people of a vast nation, Modi said.
His government’s commitment to put an end to all scams has resulted in the country’s progress and the creation of grand infrastructure like the longest cable-stayed bridge connecting Beyt Okha and mainland Okha, the PM pointed out.
“Sudarshan Setu” boasts of a unique design, featuring a footpath adorned with verses from Srimad Bhagavad Gita and images of Lord Krishna on both sides.
On the ‘Sudarshan Setu’, the PM said he laid the foundation stone for this bridge six years ago and inaugurated it today.
“This is Modi’s guarantee,” he added.
When the economy was small, it did not have the capacity to fulfil huge dreams of a vast nation, he said, adding that whatever little budget was earmarked for infrastructure was looted by way of scams.
