Kharge said that when we come to power in Bihar, we will implement 10 -point programs … We have to uplift backward classes, Dalits and others who are deprived of our rights. He targeted the Modi government for economic recession, rising unemployment and increasing social division. He said that the promise to create two crore employment has remained incomplete, youth are struggling for unemployment and policies like demonetisation and GST have destroyed the economy. Referring to the recent steps of US President Donald Trump, Kharge said that our problems at the international level are the result of Narendra Modi and his government’s diplomatic failure. Friends whom the Prime Minister is called ‘my friend’, he is putting India in many difficulties today.
