"In last seven months, no investment has come (to the country) and Modi has given broom to everyone and asked to clean India! Where are the jobs and the factories that he (Modi) had promised?" All India Congress Committee General Secretary C P Joshi said at a rally here.
The Modi government has stopped recruitment of the existing vacant posts, he said addressing the people gathered at the 'Pratarana Birodhi Samawesh' (rally against betrayal).
The senior Congress leader also alleged that BJP is bringing amendments to all the existing Acts to benefit the corporate sector.
Joshi also targeted Modi over the ceasefire violations by Pakistan, saying "Where is your 56 inch chest now when everyday Pakistan is firing and killing Indian people from across the border?"
He said the Prime Minister had promised before the last Lok Sabha elections that he would bring all blackmoney back to the country within 100 days of forming the government, but seven months have passed and "nothing has happened yet".
"They (BJP) say that nothing has happened in 60 years! Today they are saying India is a superpower and they did it in seven months!" he said.
Joshi charged BJP with trying to damage the communal harmony of the country by playing "religious politics".
"They never talk about bad things of the Hindu religion. They have never mentioned about the condition of widows or SCs or STs of the Hindu religion. We also believe in Hinduism and God. Who has given them the right to talk on behalf of all Hindus?" he questioned.
Speaking at the event, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said BJP has taken U-turn on all issues related to Assam after coming into power.
"Take any issue that BJP had promised to solve -- be it Bangladeshi immigrant issue, land swap deal with that country, big dam issue or prices of food items -- Modi and his government have made U-turns," he added.
