THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Mr Shashi Tharoor MP has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had become a ‘non-performing asset’ and that his governance had failed. “Modi government is a barrier to the growth of the country,” he told reporters here. Explaining the failures of the Modi government during its three years in office, he said that his speeches and actions did not match. “Modi has renamed the policies of the previous UPA government to win the people’s support,” he said.
“Modi has failed to improve the lives of the common people. For the first time in 14 years, the public sector undertakings have been witnessing massive losses,” he said. He was accompanied by Ms Divya Spandana, AICC media spokesperson who too came down heavily on the BJP-led government. She alleged that Modi government has been gagging the media and taking an anti-farmers stand. “When farmers across the country have been facing a harrowing time, Modi is busy with his foreign jaunts. This was pointed out by Rahul Gandhi three years ago which has been proved right,” said Ms Divya.
