The Indian National Congress on Tuesday came out guns blazing on the Centre over the upcoming celebrations of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government completing three years in power.

Taking the BJP to court across all fields regarding development and national security, the Congress held a mega press conference led by Randeep Surjewala, along with Jyotirao Scindia, RPN Singh, Sachin Pilot and others.

Here are the top 10 quotes from the blazing press conference:

Jyotiraditya Scindia: "Our foreign policies are shifting like the weather, but what is our answer against the Pakistani aristocracies?"

Sushmita Dev: "The most disappoint in the country are its youths and that raises the question what will happen to them in the next three years?"

RPN Singh : "Dr. Manmohan Singh never visited Pakistan but Prime Minister Modi did. Why are we still being attacked by the Pakistanis?"

RPN Singh : "In the last three years, 12 major terrorist attacks have taken place and we invited the ISI to investigate."

Sushmita Dev: "If you want to push the country backwards, attack the youth. And that is all the BJP Government has done in the last three years"

Jyotiraditya Scindia: "We need to raise our financial capabilities to the world stage"

Sachin Pilot: "The most ill fated today are our farmers."

Sachin Pilot: "Instead of discussing current issues, the BJP government distracts the public by discussing controversial issues."

Divya Spandana: "There has been a 22.2% rise in Rape cases. Of 660 One-stop Centers, only 20 set up. Nirbhaya Fund not utilized."

Divya Spandana: "BJP Government has neglected South India. Karnataka Government asked for Rs 4702 crore in Drought Relief & got only Rs 1786 crore.
