Millions of families in the country have been affected due to the second wave of Coronavirus. Families are fragmented. Millions of cases are being registered every day. Against this backdrop, the Congress party has been sharply critical of the ruling BJP government. It has already repeatedly commented that the country is in danger because of the Modi government. However, a video released by the Congress party on the Modi government some time ago is now going viral on social media. At the same time, the fact that there are some facts in the Congress allegations on the Factly. in website clearly shows the possibility of a negative impact on the BJP. If you look at the video released by Congress.
Demonetization
The abolition of notes has badly affected the economy. The imposition of GST has also had a negative impact on the country. With the imposition of a maximum tax of 28 percent, many sectors have been hit hard. It is a known fact that the Indo-China border dispute has reached a climax in the last two years. A large number of soldiers from the two countries were killed in the clashes on the border. Modi, who called on the people on the issue of Covid control, did not take proper steps to curb Covid. PPE kits have also failed to improve the performance of medical health departments due to stock shortages.
Increase in poverty
During the UPA regime, the number of people living in poverty was between 270 million between 2005 and 2015, and until March 2020 last year, when Modi took over as Prime Minister, the number of people living in poverty rose to 400 million between 2015-2020. The unemployment rate was between 2 percent and 4.9 percent during the UPA-1 and UPA-II regimes and rose to 11 percent during the Modi regime between 2015-2020. During the UPA regime, the GDP averaged 7.75-8.9 percent, while under the Modi regime it has now dropped to minus -7.3 from minus -3.1. Oil prices have skyrocketed under the Modi government since 2015. Diesel and petrol prices are approaching a century in many states. Diesel is more expensive than petrol than ever before in history. Fuel prices in the country have not come down even as international oil prices have declined. The burden was laid on the common man.
When it comes to the prices of essentials
As far as essentials are concerned, the price of rice has gone up by 24 percent during the Modi regime from an average of Rs 27.5 per kg. By 2020, wheat prices will have risen by 33.76 percent, milk by 29.38 percent, potatoes by 49 percent, and other essentials by 27 percent to 67 percent.
Modi could not save the country from Covid and Chinese intrusions while at the same time the democratic values were blown away during the Modi regime in India which is known as the largest democracy in the world. Systems, electoral processes have failed. Political power has not paved the way for good governance. The Congress had released a video in the past. This video is now going viral.
What does ‘Factly. in’ say?
A look at Factly’s report on some of the allegations made by Congress reveals that the Congress party only mentioned partial details in terms of GDP. GDP growth in 2018-19 was 8 percent compared to the previous year. The website states that it is not clear on what basis the comparison was made.
