Modi's words mean nothing, no promises fulfilled: Vaghela

Former Congress leader Shankersinh Vaghela came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday, accusing him of fulfilling none of his election promises.

Vaghela, who addressed a gathering of supporters in Gandhinagar, also attacked Modi for "weakening" the institutions such as the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Reserve Bank.

Four-and-a-half years after Modi became prime minister by promising "Acchhe Din", creation of two crore jobs per year and Rs 15 lakh in everyone's bank account, none of the assurances have been fulfilled, Vaghela said.

"You deliver speeches, but your words have no meaning. Give us results. If you cannot deliver results in four-and-a- half years, people of the country are going to say, come on, its your turn now (to deliver). Who are you fooling?" he said.

The former BJP leader attacked the Central government for "seeking Rs 3.5 lakh crore from the RBI", and appointing "corrupt officials" to the CBI "to hide your sins and harm your opponents."
He also called for setting up a museum dedicated to the rulers of erstwhile princely states so that "the new generation remembers their contribution."
