The Congress has said that during the last eight years since Narendra Modi came into power, 10,000 incidents of communal violence have taken different parts of India.
At a press conference here today, the Congress released the Modi government’s “report card”, titled “8 Saal, 8 Chhal; Bhajpa(BJP) Sarkar Vifal”.
Ajay Makan, a senior Congress leader and former union minister, told the journalists at the party’s headquarters that the country had seen over 10,000 religious riots in the last eight years. The Prime Minister, on the other hand, said nothing about the incident, he said.

He said that the government comes to power on the promise of ‘vikas’ (development) but it has been spreading ‘nafrat’ (hatred) in order to divert attention from its failures.
“Everyone knows that wherever violence or riots took place due to religion BJP has been involved directly or indirectly. This is BJP’s agenda,” Maken said.
According to the report, the Union Home Minister told parliament on March 30, 2022 that 3,400 incidences of communal violence occurred between 2016 and 2022. The deadliest communal rioting occurred in Delhi, where 53 people were killed, and the majority of whom were Muslims.
The study assessed the Modi government’s performance on a number of fronts, including the economy, national security, foreign policy, inflation, and communal peace.
“One after another, BJP’s bad policies contributed to the devastating slide of the Indian economy,” said Randeep Surjewala, chairman of the Congress media department, attacking the Modi government for adopting disastrous policies. Because of the BJP’s eight years of misgovernance, what was once the fastest-growing economy is now in shambles?”
