A case has been lodged by a Ranchi lawyer in the district court against PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and others for not fulfilling the promise made during the campaign trail in 2013-14 and in the BJP manifesto.

The prime minister, home minister and their colleague Ramdas Athawle have been accused of telling a bundle of lies in election rallies and taking common people for a ride.

The lawyer HK Singh, in his complaint, claims that the BJP leaders promised to credit Rs 15 lakhs in every account but took a U-turn after they mustered the majority by cheating the common man. Singh said, "Even I am feeling duped and so does the common people of the country by the cunning and deceit of the BJP leaders."

On the basis of Singh's complaint, the court has registered a complaint under section 415, 420 and 123 (B) and the next hearing is on February 1.

Taking the opportunity, Opposition party Congress took a jibe at the BJP.

Party spokesperson Alok Dubey said that the case was proof that the people were fed up of the volley of lies, the BJP leaders speak fluently. "Now, the people have started to react and express their anger against the fraud and baseless assurance of BJP leaders. They never match to what they say... someday people fuming in wrath can take to streets against the tall claims of Union government," the Congress leader said.

Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo said, "After six years, if somebody files a petition or complain in the court than it is nothing but a cheap publicity stunt. What the BJP leaders, including PM Modi and Amit Shah, said is already in the public domain. They never promised that all account holders in our country will be credited an amount of Rs 15 lakh. They will understand the meaning of BJP leaders' word if they try to read between their lines."
