AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday slammed the NDA government's performance in 100 days in office in its second term, vis--vis the decline in GDP, 'growing unemployment' and the crisis in the automobile industry.

"In 100 days, no internet in Kashmir for 35 days. No school opens. GDP has become five per cent in 100 days. Unemployment has gone above six per cent in 100 days.

In 100 days, 10 lakh people in auto industry are going to be jobless. In 100 days, the number of vehicles that are sold, it has fallen by 20 to 30 per cent.

GST collection has fallen in 100 days...which 100 days are you praising?," he told reporters here when asked about the Modi government completing 100 days in office.

Owaisi, a bitter critic of the BJP and NDA government, found fault with the restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370.

"How are they dealing Kashmir? By NSA (National Security Adviser) saying that till Pakistan does this, we will not lift the curfew?... Dont fundamental rights apply to Kashmir and we will keep them behind their homes, imprisoned?
He said this was why he had he had opposed in Parliament, the abrogation of Article 370
