In a sharp retort to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's critique of Congress, Maharashtra's Opposition leader Vijay Wadettiwar has targeted the BJP on critical issues like inflation and broken promises. Wadettiwar, addressing the concerns, highlighted BJP's alleged failure in managing inflation and maintaining the minimum support price (MSP) promise. He drew parallels with Congress's transparency, citing Telangana as an example.

Wadettiwar questioned the BJP's governance, mentioning the soaring soybean rates despite MSP assurances, and criticized the Ladli Behna Yojana in Madhya Pradesh for failing to deliver promised benefits to women. He accused the BJP of caste-based politics and misleading the public with hollow promises, while representing Congress as a truth-speaking force.

The Opposition leader also emphasized the rising cost of fertilizers as a financial burden on farmers, labeling it as another BJP failure. Wadettiwar's counterattack follows PM Modi's tweets that accused Congress of empty promises. As Maharashtra approaches its elections, Wadettiwar urged voters to discern between promises and performance.
