Launching a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress on Monday said his 'na khaunga na khane doonga' statement was a "hoax" as he has delivered "minimum governance, maximum cover-ups".
The opposition party alleged that under the prime minister's leadership, it has always been a case of "khaunga, khane doonga, aur khilaunga."
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh emphasised that Modi became prime minister in May 2014, boasting of his "na
khaunga na khane doonga" promise.
"That this was a hoax became evident soon thereafter when Dr Manmohan Singh described the November 8, 2016, demonetisation as 'organised loot and legalised plunder'," Ramesh said in a post on X.
He claimed that the Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation was forcibly merged with the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation to cover up a Rs 20,000 crore "scam" that occurred during Modi's tenure as chief minister of Gujarat.
