The Congress party’s move to start a nationwide campaign “to expose” the BJP government’s three years in power is welcome (“Three years of lies, cover-up: Congress”, May 17). As the principal Opposition party, it is imperative that the party looks at the BJP’s governance track record. The development and growth stories being trotted out by the government’s managers are hardly showing on the ground. Serious issues such as drought, agrarian distress, price rise, the burden of non-performing assets and job losses are being swept under the carpet in the absence of a strong and vigilant Opposition. There is a ray of hope that this campaign is to be spearheaded by second-generation leaders of the Congress.
