"The deliberate and forcible disruption of the Monsoon session of the Parliament by Congress in an undemocratic manner was a cynical ploy to sabotage India's economic growth," Oram told reporters here.
Terming the stalling of Parliament as an "assault on the aspirations" of the people, the Union Tribal Affairs Minister said sabotage of the GST bill was a blow to the youths in need of jobs.
Alleging that the politics of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi was stealing jobs from the poor, he said in its pursuit of individual ambition over national welfare, the Congress has sought to undermine the core institution of democracy through relentless pandemonium.
Stating that people across the country were anguished over the obstructionist politics of Congress, he said "India and its economy are being held hostage by Congress, which is trying to punish the people by disrupting economic growth."
The NDA has called upon the people to see through the undemocratic behaviour of the Congress and to make people aware of the disruption of economic revival, it would campaign across the country, particularly in the constituencies of Congress and Left parties, Oram said.
