Ahead of assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused the Congress party of making “fake promises” to voters, asserting that the party stands “badly exposed” for pledging goals it “will never be able to deliver.”
Modi’s comments came as he seized on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent directive urging state units to make only budgeted promises to avoid fiscal strain, following reports of financial difficulties in Congress-led states.
“The Congress party is realising the hard way that making unreal promises is easy but implementing them properly is tough or impossible,” Modi posted on his X account, stating that grand old party is misleading people with unfulfilled pledges. “Now, they stand badly exposed in front of the people!” he added, targeting the fiscal health and development status of Congress-ruled states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana.

PM Modi warned voters against what he termed a “Congress-sponsored culture of fake promises,” saying, “We saw recently how the people of Haryana rejected their lies and preferred a government that is stable, progress-oriented and action-driven.” He claimed that a vote for Congress amounts to “non-governance, poor economics, and unparalleled loot,” tagging his posts with the hashtag “fake promises of Congress.”
In a series of post on X, he further accused Congress of “terrible deceit” in not delivering on promises, which he said harms the poor, youth, farmers, and women, while existing schemes face cuts.
Check any state where the Congress has Governments today – Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana- the developmental trajectory and fiscal health is turning from bad to worse. Their so-called Guarantees lie unfulfilled, which is a terrible deceit upon the people of these…
