Modi govt's 4 years were full of tears: Yechury

CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury today alleged that the Modi government was a dispensation of "loot and lies" and its four years were full of tears.

"As the Modi government celebrates the completion of its fourth year, the singular feature is that it reneged on all the promises made to people in 2014. Four years were full of tears," Yechury told reporters at a press conference here.

The CPI(M) leader, accompanied by his colleague Brinda Karat, also released four booklets that listed the failures of the government on various fronts such as economic, social among others.

Questioning the Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his promise of creating two crore jobs per year and higher support price to farmers, Yechury said, "It is just loot and jhoot ki sarkar (it's a government of loot and lies)."
