The Congress Party on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of giving only lip service to the people in his speeches.
"We are a responsible opposition and we will raise question on the works that has not been done till now," Congress leader Rashid Alvi said.
"PM Modi wasn't bothered about Varanasi. Why did he visit Varanasi just before the elections?" he asked.
