The NSUI alleged that Modi led NDA government has failed to fulfill its promises. “Nothing has been done to control the inflation; nothing has been done for the black money. Most of the schemes initiated by the PM, has been proved a big failure, now they can say that they have brought “Achhe din”, said Iqbal Garewal.
