The Congress today dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech at the Niti Ayog as half truths, tall tales and fallacy and asked if these were the 'achche din' he promised.

Accusing the Prime Minister of presenting a 'rosy picture' of the economy, Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala asked him if he promised to 'de-accelerate' the country's GDP in 2014.

Half truths, tall tales and fallacy define PM's address at Niti Aayog," said Surjewala, while dubbing the PM's promise of providing two crore jobs to the youth as a 'maha jumla.'
Presenting a 'rosy picture' of Economy, Modiji only tells us Q4 GDP growth figure and yet forgets that GDP growth this year is at just 6.7 pc - a 4 year low now!
He asked, Was it because of his Disastrous DeMo and Flawed GST?
Resorting to the Twitter lingo, Surejewala framed a queer equation: Modi= 'Master of Destroying Institutions."
Surjewala said Modi came to power promising 2 crore jobs a year and "four years down the line, this 'Maha-Jumla' has left India's youth in the lurch as job creation has been abysmal."
