Sidhu slams PM Modi, says he is yet to keep promises

Amethi, May 3

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he “ditched” people of the country by promising good days which are still “elusive”.

The cricketer-turned-politician claimed that no action was taken against those involved in scams like Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi as they belonged to Gujarat.

“Modi has ditched people by promising ‘acche din’, which are elusive. Good days have come only for people like Adani and Ambani. Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and others did scam worth crores and fled the country but no action was taken against them as they belonged to Gujarat,” he said addressing an election meeting here on Thursday in support of Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

On black money, Sidhu said, “Modi used to talk about bringing back black money. Where is it? Has it come? Modi promised two crore jobs per year but did not give jobs to anyone.”

Claiming that the Congress carried out a lot of development in Amethi, Sidhu said, “This time people of Amethi will not only elect an MP but also a PM as Rahul will become PM after the polls.” PTI
