Amethi (Uttar Pradesh) [India] January 15 (ANI): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of not fulfilling their promises made to the public.

Addressing a public gathering in Amethi, the Gandhi scion said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have not fulfilled any of their promises.

"Jo kaam China ki sarkaar do din mein karti hai use karne mein Narendra Modi Ji ki sarkaar ko ek saal lag jaata hai. (The work that Chinese government finishes in two days, Prime Minister Modi's government takes at least one year for the same work", Rahul Gandhi said while addressing a crowd.

Talking about job opportunities, the new Congress chief claimed that while the Chinese government generated employment for 50,000 youths daily, in India, the figure stood at 450 only. (ANI)
