The Congress Party on Monday said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA Government's performance audit by the people of the country of the last one year points towards personal projection, hype and hoopla, but nothing on the ground.

"This government is very high on promises and very low on achievements, very high on rhetoric, but very low on converting rhetoric into reality. That is why the audit by the country is pointing out falsehood, overstatement, hype, hoopla, optics and personal projection, but nothing really on the ground," Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi told ANI.

Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign visits, Singhvi said his greatest achievement has been to create situations where Indians mistrust Indians.

"Where is the Make in India in Rafale? There is no agreement. Only for optics with the French President, the Rafale deal is announced. PM Modi's greatest achievement has been to create situations where Indians mistrust Indians," he said.

The NDA Government at the Centre will complete a year in the office tomorrow.

Prime Minister Narendra will address a rally in Mathura today to mark the first anniversary of the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre.

The rally has been dubbed as a 'Jan Kalyan Sabha' at Nagla Chandrabhan village, which is the ancestral home of BJP ideologue Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.
