Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA Government has proved to be a complete failure.
"Prime Minister Modi ji is going to complete one year, but he has not given special state status to Bihar yet even after we made so much effort. They are not doing anything for the state. He has failed in everything. The farmers are committing suicide. He had promised employment for five crore people, but the youth are without jobs," said Yadav.
Earlier in the day, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that decisiveness, even in the face of obstructionism, was a hallmark of the NDA Government.
"There was a general environment of gloom a year ago. That has been replaced by hope and excitement. Decisiveness, even in the face of obstructionism, has been a hallmark of this government," Jaitley said while addressing the media on the first anniversary of Prime Minister Modi-led government.
