New Delhi, Jan 12 (UNI) Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at BJP National Executive in Delhi in which he described a 'gathbandhan' (alliance) Government as 'majboor' as against a 'Mazboot' (stromg) Government of the NDA, the Congress on Saturday said that 2019 election will be a battle not between a 'mazboot' and 'Majboor' government but between a ‘Dictatorship and Democracy’ and a test between a 'jumlebaaz' government and impeccable track record of UPA Government.
Addressing a press conference here, senior Congress leader and national spokesperson Manish Tewari said,' 2019 is not a battle between a ‘Majboor Sarkar and a Majboot Sarkar’. It is a fight between ‘Dictatorship and Democracy’. It is a struggle between ‘Bhashan and Prashasan’ and it is going to be a test between Jumlas qua an impeccable track record of service which the Congress has delivered over the years. '
Responding to the PM's speech on various issues, Mr Tiwari said that PM Modi did not mention about the ‘Achche Din’, harassment of 124 crore people through demonetization in one go, GST, and two crore jobs in every year and plight of farmers who are on the roads against the across the county.
“Demonetisation and the implementation of the GSt were touted as the achievements of this Government in the last 4.5 years. But the PM did not say a work about these isues in his 90 minute speech”, Mr Tewari said.

Referring to the Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement in the BJP national conclave that has not been any terrorism attack since 2014,the Congress Spokesperson said,'they have forgotten the Uri and Pathankot attacks and if there were no security threat during the last 55 months, then why the surgical strike was carried out?'
“Can the Government explain that what is its Policy on Pakistan? What is the Policy on Jammu and Kashmir and why they have not been able to conduct a Parliamentary by-poll of Anantnag?”, He asked the NDA Government.
In a reply to Mayawati’s corruption charges on the Congress led UPA Government, he said that the all charges like 2G cases were framed under a conspiracy to defame the Party and the Government and it could not sustain in the court of law.
'The Court has also given its verdict in Bofors case and during that time the NDA Government could not dare ti file an appeal in the Supreme Court,'Mr Tewari said.
“We do not indulge in the politics of conspiracy but we do politics of welfare of the people”, Mr Tewari said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday ridiculed 'desperation' shown by parties like Samajwadi and BSP by coming together merely to stall his government's good works and said the new alliance making efforts are only aimed at ensuring a weak regime that will go soft on corruption menace.
"Alliances are built based on political understanding and vision....But this is for the first time they all want to come together just to stop one person," Mr Modi said in his address to about 12,000 BJP office bearers, senior leaders and state legislators.
"They all have decided to join hands and form a government which will be 'majboor (helpless)'. This is what we need to tell people at every level. They do not want return of a strong government which can put a check on their selfish desires," Prime Minister said.
"These parties want a helpless government so that they continue to thrive in corruption. People want a strong government, but these parties are coming together to ensure return of a helpless regime," he said amid thunderous applause and 'Modi Modi' slogan from the capacity crowd.
"Common people want a dispensation strong enough to fight corruption; but these parties want a government so that they continue to help their kith and kin," Mr Modi said shortly after BSP and Samajwadi Party announced formal alliance for 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.
