BJP today came down heavily on Congress President Sonia Gandhi for accusing Prime Minister’s poll promises as empty talks. The party said Ms Gandhi is hiding her failure by attacking Narendra Modi. Talking to reporters in New Delhi, Union Minister Smriti Irani listed initiatives of NDA government including Jan Dhan Yojana, One Rank One Pension for ex- servicemen and wondered whether these are empty talks. She said within one year in coordination with states 100 percent toilets facilities have been created in schools across the country.
The Minister said Congress did not approve OROP for 40 years on financial grounds. Ms. Irani accused the opposition party of trying to stall development by disrupting proceedings in the Rajya Sabha in the last Parliament Session.
