The NDA government, headed by Prime Minister Modi, completed eight years in power on Monday
The TMC on Monday said mismanagement of the economy, high inflation and subversion of Constitutional principles have almost been "synonymous" with the eight years of the Narendra Modi regime at the Centre.
Addressing a press meet, senior TMC leaders and Ministers Sashi Panja and Chandrima Bhattacharya said the Modi government has "failed on all fronts", and demanded that a proper audit of the PM CARES fund should be carried out.
"Spiralling fuel rates, high inflation rate, and the surging price of essentials are synonymous with the Modi regime. What is also worrisome is that the Constitution is constantly undermined and disregarded," Ms. Bhattacharya said.
Speaking about the PM CARES fund, she said it should be scrutinized and audited.
"Under the BJP government, misgovernance has taken center stage," Ms. Bhattacharya said.
"Why should the PM CARES fund be exempted from audit? Is the public money that was donated to PM CARES for the service of the public or for the care of his party?"
