BJP should release list of assurances kept, says Satish Jarkiholi

Satish Jarakiholi, Minister and Congress leader, has asked the NDA government at the Centre to release a list of assurances that the BJP has fulfilled in the last decade.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going around saying that he is the guarantee for the country. What he means by the word guarantee is a set of assurances for the better life of the voters. He and other leaders have made several assurances in the BJP election manifesto and in political rallies and meeting speeches. However, the party has remained beyond public scrutiny. It is time for them be accountable. They should release a list of all the promises they have kept. There have been several Modi guarantees. But we do not know what happened to them? The party should clarify,” he said.

He was speaking to reporters at Congress Bhavan. “Mr. Modi, who has been critical of the schemes of the Congress government saying they will empty the state exchequer. But he has now turned around and is now saying that he is the guarantee for the country. In all his campaign meetings, he is appealing to the people to vote for his party candidates based on his guarantees. But if he is to be taken seriously, he should release the list of how many of his guarantees given by him and his party over the years,” Satish Jarkiholi said.
