"He has been making visions almost everyday. What matters is about how much work has been done. Whether acche din has come or not, whether the prices have dropped ,' she added.

Taking a jibe at the Centre for only revealing three names, inspite of its tall claims of revealing it all. She said, "The latest thing where they said that they will disclose all names of those having bank accounts in foreign banks , they have revealed three names and at the same time they have said that they are waiting so that it doesn't embarrasses the Congress .
