Modi slams Kharge remarks on 'financially viable promises'

The PM said on Friday that making unrealistic promises was easy, but fulfilling them was challenging. He sought to caution the citizens to remain alert against "Congress' culture of fake promises".

The PM's response came in a series of posts following Kharge's statement urging his party's state units to be cautious about making promises.

"The Congress is realizing the hard way that making unreal promises is easy but implementing them is tough or impossible," said the PM.

He said the Congress repeatedly made promises they knew they wouldn't deliver.

"Now they stand badly exposed," he said, using the hashtag #FakePromisesOfCongress to underscore his message.
