Modi and Kharge Clash Over Election Promises and Fiscal Responsibility

Prime Minister Modi and Congress President Kharge engage in a heated exchange over the fulfillment of election promises and financial governance in Congress-ruled states.

Prime Minister Modi criticized Congress for making unrealistic promises that he claims are not being fulfilled in states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana.
Congress President Kharge responded by accusing the BJP of deception and failing to deliver on its own promises, labeling their governance as characterized by 'betrayal' and 'jumla' (empty promises).
The debate intensified following Kharge's advice to Congress units to ensure fiscal viability when making pre-poll promises, amid concerns over Karnataka's free bus travel scheme for women.
Congress leaders from Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana defended their track record, asserting that they are fulfilling promises and blaming previous BJP administrations for financial mismanagement.
The controversy arises in the context of upcoming Maharashtra elections, where both BJP and Congress are focusing their campaigns on welfare schemes and fiscal responsibility.
