Punjab Congress chief and Lok Sabha MP from Gurdaspur Sunil Jakhar on Sunday said that the party will expose the misdeeds and failures of the BJP-led Central government in the monsoon session of Parliament, slated to start from July 18.

“The BJP government has completely failed to achieve the goals, in the shape of promises in its election manifesto of 2014. The government has virtually run away from the promises made to the farmers. Nothing has been done on issues like area-specific crops, vegetable farming scheme, agricultural rail link and price stability fund,” alleged Mr. Jakhar.

‘Lot of noise’

He added that on the issue of black money, the BJP had made a lot of noise before the elections. “The government has failed to bring back black money to the country,” he said.

Mr. Jakhar said on the job front as well, the NDA government has failed to deliver. “Unemployment across the country has increased manyfold in the last four years. Similarly, the condition of the weaker sections and minorities has worsened,” he alleged.

‘Religious issues’

He added that the party had come to power by raising religious and emotional issues like ‘Ram Temple’ and ‘Article 370’, but after assuming power, ‘the government threw its own manifesto in trash’.

“We will raise all these issues in upcoming session of Parliament to expose the NDA government’s failures and misdeeds,” said Mr. Jakhar.
