Government only advertises itself, people know real situation: Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury

Congress leader critiques Modi government's self-promotion, highlights growing economic disparity and policy shortcomings after 11 years in power

"The government has only one job: to praise itself and advertise itself - Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, ANI"

New Delhi, June 9

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday slammed the Modi government, which has completed 11 years in office, and said while the ruling coalition "praises and advertises itself, people know the real situation".

"The government has only one job: to praise itself and advertise itself. It is not hard if you have money and media in your hands...However, people know what the actual situation is," Chowdhury told ANI.

"We are not able to reach the position that the government promised due to the bad policies of the government...The gap between the rich and the common people is increasing in our country...It is happening due to the government's failed economic policies," he alleged.

The Modi-led NDA government is marking the completion of 11 years in office this year. Narendra Modi first assumed office as Prime Minister on May 26, 2014 and assumed office for a third consecutive term on June 9 last year.

Earlier in the day, PM Modi urged citizens to participate in a survey on the NaMo App regarding India's growth journey over the past 11 years.

In a social media post on X, PM Modi shared a link to the portal and encouraged people to share their views through the 'Jan Man Survey' available on the app.

"Your views matter the most! Take part in this survey on the NaMo App and let us know how you view India's growth journey over the last 11 years. #11YearsOfSeva," the post read.

Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president and Union Minister JP Nadda highlighted the government's achievements, including the change in India's "political culture" and bold decisions taken over the past 11 years.

"We are completing 11 years under PM Modi's leadership. It is very difficult to confine 11 years in a press conference. The work done under PM Modi's leadership is written in the golden words. PM Modi has changed the country's politics, political culture," he said.

While some infrastructure projects are visible, the common man is still struggling with inflation and unemployment. The government's PR machinery is strong, but ground realities tell a different story. We need more focus on job creation than self-praise campaigns.

I disagree with Chowdhury ji. Under this government, we've seen better roads, electricity in villages, and UPI which has made life easier. The opposition should give credit where it's due instead of constant negativity 🙏

The NaMo App survey is just another way to collect data for election campaigns. Real surveys should be conducted by independent agencies, not political parties. This is just digital propaganda disguised as public opinion.

Both sides make valid points. Yes, there's development, but also rising inequality. My chaiwala bhaiya says his business is down because people have less money to spend. Maybe we need balanced policies that help small businesses too.

The government's foreign policy achievements are undeniable - stronger global standing, handling China better than before. But domestic economy needs more attention. Petrol prices are burning holes in our pockets!

Why can't we have constructive criticism without political bias? Some schemes like Ayushman Bharat have helped poor families, while GST implementation hurt small traders. We should acknowledge both sides 🤔
