Lalu Yadav Slams Modi Government Over Unfulfilled Promises and “Deceptive” Tactics

Mumbai, India* – In a recent joint press conference of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc in Mumbai, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav took the opportunity to lambast Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government. The crux of his criticism revolved around Modi’s 2014 election promise, which claimed that ₹15 lakh would be deposited into the bank accounts of Indian citizens from the black money stashed away in Swiss Banks.

Yadav, a former Union Minister and Chief Minister of Bihar, candidly shared his own experience, stating, “I was also enticed by this promise and went ahead to open a bank account for my family.”

The Mirage of ₹15 Lakh: A Promise Yet to be Fulfilled

The 2014 election pledge by Modi has been a subject of controversy and debate.

• The promise was to repatriate large sums of black money allegedly hoarded in Swiss Banks and distribute ₹15 lakh to each Indian citizen’s bank account.
• However, years have passed, and the pledge remains unfulfilled, raising questions about the government’s sincerity and capability.

The Political Chessboard: I.N.D.I.A. Bloc Weighs In

The joint press conference was not just a platform for Yadav’s grievances but also a stage for the I.N.D.I.A. bloc, a coalition of various political parties, to voice their concerns and strategies. The bloc, which includes RJD among its members, has been critical of the BJP-led government’s policies and actions.

The Undercurrents of Deception: A Government Called to Account

Yadav’s remarks come at a time when the BJP government is under scrutiny for various issues, including economic policies and social welfare schemes.

• His comments add fuel to the ongoing debate about the government’s transparency and honesty.
• “The promise was not just a political gimmick; it was a calculated move to deceive the public,” Yadav emphasized.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, what are your thoughts on these unfulfilled promises? Do you think the government will ever deliver on its pledges, or is it all political rhetoric?
