Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday compared the Congress party with the lead protagonist of the film 'Ghajini' and said, "They don’t remember the promises they have made in earlier manifestos."
In the movie, which the prime minister referred to in his interview, the lead character, played by actor Aamir Khan, suffers from short-term memory loss and can’t remember things beyond a 15-minute time frame.
He said that ‘eradicate poverty’ has been the Congress' poll plank since the days of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. "For five generations the Congress has used this slogan," he added.
Providing cash support to nearly 5 crore poor families, increasing employment opportunities, farm loan waiver, a separate agriculture budget and greater budgetary allocations to health and education sectors are among the top promises made by the Congress for the Lok Sabha election.
