NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said the government ’s account of its accomplishments, read out by the President, was an exercise in which “facts gave way to fiction” and whose “soaring rhetoric” was divorced from the “abject reality of our country’s worrying social and economic situation”.Taking part in the debate on motion of thanks to the President’s address in Lok Sabha, Tharoor also made sarcastic references to the government’s flagship schemes like ‘Start-up India’ and ‘Make in India’ among others. The debate will conclude on Wednesday with PM Narendra Modi expected to reply around noon. He accused the Modi government of “partitioning” India's soul by launching a “fundamental assault” on democratic and secular structure of the country by dividing the country into “Hindus vs Muslims”, “us vs they” and “Ramzade vs ...I won’t say”.“Of course, there was the usual lip service paid to Skill India, Digital India and Start-up India, but no mention of Standup India — since you are so busy banning stand-up comedians — and no admission that your government’s schemes should really be renamed Sit Down India, Shut Down India and Shut Up India,” Tharoor said.In response, BJP MP S P Singh said Tharoor’s speech was devoid of facts.
