BJP sold dreams to the nation that they are never going to fulfill: Congress

August 15, 2015 13:40

The Congress Party on Saturday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day address, saying the latter had not spoken a single word on country's foreign policy.

"I have been going to the Red Fort for 35 years, this is the first time that a Prime Minister has not said a word on foreign policy," Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told ANI.

Congress leader Anand Sharma said, "All his talks are hollow...last one year has been very disappointing for the nation. His 90 minute speech today did not give any assurance to nation that they (NDA Government) would fulfill their promises. They had sold dreams to the nation, and they are never going to fulfill it," he said.
