"The performance of the Modi government has been zero in the last one year, but Modi was glorifying his regime performance. He is a good marketing guru who has perfected the art of selling products with zero performance," Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said. He said Modi has just repackaged UPA government schemes and is running them by projecting them as his own. "Modi had taken potshots at the UPA regime for a 'pink revolution' (export of meat) during the Lok Sabha election campaign last year, but during his one-year rule, meat export has risen drastically," the former MP Chief Minister said. In a scathing attack on Union finance minister Arun Jaitley, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "He is the most effective spinner in Indian politics. Jaitley is more than the combined force of finest spinners Indian cricket has ever produced." The Congress alleged paralysis in decision-making in the Modi government due to "centralisation". Party spokesperson Anand Sharma said a number of top posts including the Lokpal, CVC, CIC, DRDO and in a dozen scientific institutions are lying vacant for a long time. "If it is true the government is very decisive, then what is the reason for not appointing the chiefs of these important bodies? The delay is due to centralised decision-making," Sharma said. Other top posts lying vacant included chiefs of ICAR, CSIR, ICMR, CDRI, TIFR, SN Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics as also Vice Chancellors of 12 central universities. The appointment of 76 joint secretaries is also pending. ... RAFALE DEAL: CONG FIRES FRESH SALVO NEW DELHI Continuing its attack on the Modi government over the $6- billion Rafale deal with France to buy 36 fighter jets, the Congress questioned why state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) was kept out of the agreement. Anand Sharma said as per the earlier arrangement, HAL was to manufacture 108 jets through transfer of technology from the French company. "Then why was HAL kept out of the government-togovernment agreement despite the fact that the stateowned company has assembly lines in view of its old collaboration with France on the Mirage deal?" Sharma asked. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
