New Delhi, January 19: The Lok Gathbandhan Party (LGP) today said that despite tall claims being made by the NDA government about growth and development during the last five years, India is in fact passing through immense crisis especially in agriculture sector. The LGP said that the assertion of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit that the government has provided best opportunities to do businesses in India is far from fact, as the ground realities are totally different.
The spokesman of the LGP, headed by former Secretary Government of India Vijay Shankar Pandey said here on Saturday that the NDA has virtually failed on economic front with only “crony capitalism†ruling the roost. The spokesman said the Prime Minister rolled out data to substantiate the claim about the positive growth but the general perception is absolutely different as the NDA failed on major development indicators and the BJP could not fulfil its 2014 electoral promises. The spokesman said the possibility of increase in foreign investment in 2019 is remote because of ensuing political uncertainties. The spokesman said just pep talk cannot change the situation.
The spokesman said that NDA’s promises of “Achhe Din†lies shattered as the country heads for next parliamentary elections in 2019. The spokesman said the BJP has been maintaining stoic silence on all important issues like rising prices of petrol, diesel, agrarian, industrial crises, declining value of rupee, continued after effect of demonetization, faulty implementation of goods and services tax (GST), mounting losses in public sector banks and over all utter failure in generation of promised employment opportunities. The spokesman said BJP’s claim on economic development is quite misleading and the vigilant people will not be carried away by the publicity stunt. The spokesman said the BJP had promised corruption-free governance and bringing back black money stashed by big houses abroad and also its onslaught within the country, but there is complete lack of honesty, transparency, good governance and no progress on black money issue. The spokesman said the job creation was the biggest BJP promise but the strong perception prevailing among the people is that there has been total failure on this front causing widespread resentment among youths. The spokesman said the people wanted to know what the NDA government has done to make the country’s economy more competitive, efficient, productive and raise the rank of the country across parameters.
