President's address a big disappointment: Cong

February 23, 2016 15:00

Congress today said the President's address in Parliament was a "big disappointment" and there was "nothing new" to offer to the public.

"There was nothing new in the speech. It was full of slogans like 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'. There was nothing which will give any relief to the people. The atmosphere is tense in the country. There was nothing on this and also no mention of tension with neighbouring countries," Congress

leader Rajiv Shukla said outside Parliament.

He said, "Every thing is cliche, same thing we are hearing again and again. It is a big disappointment."

"There are other problems like price rise, problems with neighbouring countries. There was nothing on these issues," he said.
