Yet again Congress MP Jothimani has peddled lies in the August house of the Parliament, by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised ₹15 lakh in the bank account of every citizen.
Speaking during the General Discussion on the Union Budget 2023-24, Congress MP Jothimani started off her speech saying that the country is paying the price of believing “WhatsApp forwards”.
“The Modi Government is good at making promises. But it is time see if those promises have been fulfilled. Henceforth, we can’t vote believing Whatsapp forwards. The country is now paying the price for that.”, she started.
She further added “2 crore jobs every year, doubling farmers’ income, making $5 trillion dollar economy, eradicating corruption and black money, depositing ₹15 lakh in every citizen’s bank account (Won’t forget it even after 9 years sir!), good days are about to come, were some of the promises made. But have they been fulfilled?”, Jothimani asked.
It is to be noted that PM Modi never made any promise about ₹15 lakh in every Indian’s bank account. This lie has been busted a number of times as PM Modi during a campaign had only made a comparison to the amount of black money stashed abroad.
Despite the lie being busted by many reports many times, the Congress MP lied through her teeth on the floor of the House.
This is not the first time that Congress leader Jothimani has peddled this lie.
Earlier in 2017, she had peddled the same false propaganda about PM Modi multiple times.
