In a resolute critique of the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (February 16) delivered a scathing attack, asserting that India faltered under the "corrupt" rule of the grand old party. Speaking ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections scheduled for April-May this year, PM Modi emphasized that "Congress is corrupt" and decried its inability to envision a prosperous future for the nation.

Addressing the 'Viksit Bharat Viksit Rajasthan' program through video conferencing, PM Modi underscored the country's forward momentum and said, "India is moving forward now with confidence." He contrasted the current positive trajectory with the atmosphere before 2014, characterized by discussions of scams and bombings during the Congress regime.
