Congress is set to launch a nation-wide public campaign in the next 24 months, along with like-minded forces, to expose the BJP-led government.

AICC incharge of communications Randeep Surjewala stating at a press conference said the party led by Rahul Gandhi would expose the “failures” of the government before the public in every nook and corner of the country.

To mark the completion of three years of the Modi government, the Congress young brigade comprising of Sachin Pilot, Randeep Surjewala and Jyotiraditya Scindia highlighted the Centre’s failures on various counts including issues of dealing with the Pakistan and Kashmir policy, internal security, women safety and rising cases of rapes, atrocities on dalits, high petrol and diesel prices, besides generation of jobs.

During the press conference, a power-point presentation was also made highlighting the “failures of central government” on bringing back black money, GST, Aadhaar, renaming of UPA schemes, Digital and Skill India and not addressing the problem of farm debt.

Surjewala told reporters that, “To expose the falsehood of the BJP, the Congress party in the next 24 months will launch an extensive country-wide public campaign after bringing all such like-minded and those forces troubled by this government.” Among others were Congress leaders Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sachin Pilot, RPN Singh, Sushmita Dev and Divya Spandana who raised the issues of the increasing cases of intolerance in the country. It also highlighted of the attempts being made to change the narrative rather than focusing on resolving problems of the public.

“When the central government came to power, they ignited a lot of hopes by selling the dream of bringing “achhe din” in the country. But it shattered the dreams of the people in the last three years,” said Scindia. “There is an environment of intolerance prevailing in the country. If anybody discusses it, they are termed as anti-national.”

Scindia further said, “The Centre decides what the people should eat, learn and wear. It tries to push its policies based on a regimented “soch vichar” (ideological approach).”

The Congress would present a better alternative model of governance before the people of the country and will expose the BJP on its “failure to fulfill the huge promises made before emerging into power”. “We will prepare a blueprint of an alternative model of governance and not by selling lies to the people, said Sachin Pilot. 

During the press conference the Congress screened a video entitled “Teen saal barbaad, lipapoti sarkar”. The Congress leaders also raised the issue of senior functionaries of the government trying to help fugitives like Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi escape the country.
