Narendra Modi speaks so much, but remains silent on real issues: Sonia Gandhi
Vijayapura, May 8 (IBNS): Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi, who joined her party's campaign trail in Karnataka on Tuesday, targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi while appealing people of Karnataka to vote against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming state polls.

Raising questions on Modi-led central government's performance in last four years, the senior Congress leader said: "What promise has been fulfilled by Modi in last fours years? In which sector did he fulfill his promises?.....What have you (Modi) done?"
She also questioned the PM as to why the BJP government failed to implement the Jan Lokpal Bill in four years' time.
Highlighting the discrepancy between the two largest political parties of the nation, Sonia said: "Congress believes in brotherhood.....Modi makes false promises and goes. I am sure you won't believe him this time and expose the false promises on May 12 (poll date)."
