Congress urges PM to discuss problems of national interest

Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to people to connect with him through 'Narendra Modi Mobile App', the Congress on Sunday said that everyone must use the app to let know the real facts about the nation and hoped that the Prime Minister will solve the problems of nation's interest.

"I think all of us should use the app that Prime Minister mentioned to tell him real facts about how the nation actually is. I hope in his next programme of 'Mann ki Baat' he will tell us how he will solve the problems of the nation like price rise, where is economy going, decreasing agricultural production, decreasing industrial production, farmers etc. PM has very less time as he is always visiting some or the other country," Congress leader Tom Vadakkan told here while addressing the media.

"We are not questioning the PM's visit, we want results. If FDI was coming we would be welcoming it with both hands," he added.

Prime Minister Modi today addressed the nation on 15th edition of Mann Ki Baat. He said that through 'Narendra Modi Mobile App' people can connect with him.

"People tell me a lot of positive things that happen. I had briefly touched upon 'Start Up India, Stand Up India' in my 15th August address from Red Fort," he said.

"On 16th January we are coming out with an action plan on start ups. Universities and youth will be connected with this programme," he added.
