The BJP had been in power for more than seven years and was still blaming first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for the problems of the people, former Prime Minister and Congress leader Manmohan Singh said on February 17 in a scathing attack against the Modi-led Government.
Targeting the Central Government on a host of issues, including the farmers’ agitation, foreign policy, price rise and unemployment, Mr. Singh said ahead of the Punjab elections on February 20 that the BJP’s nationalism was “fake” and was based on the British policy of “divide and rule”.
The Congress played the message delivered in Punjabi at a press conference in Chandigarh.
