Congress' pain

As the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government kicked off its celebrations on completing two years in power last week, senior Congress leaders criticised its achievements. Senior leader Digvijaya Singh visited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi "in search of the developmental works", and claimed he was disappointed. "Nothing has changed at the ground level," he rued. Kapil Sibal said Congress was "pained and concerned" about the attitude of the government and asked it to explain what it had done for the farmers since coming to power. Congress spokesman Raj Babbar said there should be "a limit to celebrations".
