Modi still in campaign mode: Cong
PTI, NEW DELHI | 14 June 2014 22:01 IST
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks that the previous UPA dispensation led by it had "left everything empty", Congress today said he is still in "campaign mode" and cannot believe that he is now leading the government.
"It seems Modi-ji still can't believe that he is the Prime Minister. He is still in campaign mode. He is the Prime Minister of the country. He should act as the Prime Minister, not as a Leader of Opposition," said party spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed.
Addressing BJP workers in Panaji, Modi had earlier said, "I have taken over the reins of the country in circumstances when there is nothing left behind by the previous government. They left everything empty. The country's financial health has hit the bottom."
"Modi government has begun hoodwinking people. Such directions (are intended) to throw dust into people's eyes. No minister goes to a foreign country all of a sudden without the consent of the Prime Minister.
A proposal is moved and then it is okayed by the PMO (and) the Ministry of External Affairs. The PMO is always informed, nobody goes all of a sudden," Ahmed said.
According to reports, a circular issued by the Cabinet Secretariat says that proposals seeking approval of the Prime Minister for official visits abroad should be forwarded 10 days in advance as against the earlier stipulation of five days.
