The Congress on Thursday described the two years of the Narendra Modi government as disappointing because it had failed on all fronts, including in reviving the economy.
"This government lives on advertisements. This government has totally failed to revive the economy. Core sector growth negligible. Rupee is sliding, inflation is very high and job creation is lowest. The prime minister had promised 10 crore jobs per year but job creaton (rate) is 1.32 lakh," senior Conngress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told reporters here as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) completed its two years of governance.
"It is the two years of disappointment and the big achievements of this government are creation of social tension, provocation by BJP leaders, unnecessary controversies and mob violence," said Azad, who is also the leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha.
