Blowing trumpet on foreign shores won't hide reality: Cong to Modi

New Delhi, Jan 24: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the claims made by him in the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Congress on Wednesday said that the PM blowing his own trumpet on foreign shores would not hide the reality at home.

'PM Modi, blowing your trumpet on foreign shores won't drown the unpleasant music at home,' the Congress said on its official social media handle.
In his opening address at the WEF on Tuesday, the PM, showcasing India's growth story, elaborated on how India has come a long way from two decades ago when its GDP was a sixth of what it is today but he also spelt out to the world how that has gathered pace in the last few years by making India a destination for investment, innovation and inclusive development.
PM Modi not only highlighted India's growth story but also listed ways in which transformation in India has taken place.
Presenting India as "a land that stands for peace, harmony and inclusiveness", the PM extended an open invitation to all, to come and invest in India.
Questioning the claims by Mr Modi at Davos, the Congress said a new report by Forbes claims only 3 per cent of Indians consider themselves thriving in 2017 compared to 14 per cent in 2014. UNI
