Meanwhile when claiming that the government has "failed" on the foreign policy front, Tharoor in an interview he said the Congress would highlight these "failures" as also the so-called schemes that have remained "empty slogans" with no effect on the ground. Moreover the simple question to the voters is and he asserted “Are you better off than you were in 2014? Have 'achche din' come for you? Most will say no.

said Congress president Rahul Gandhi's speech during the no-confidence debate
in Parliament earlier this month clearly showed that the party was setting the
agenda, raising issues such as the “Rafale scam” and the plight of farmers. Moreover
when asked what had brought about the change in Gandhi's image from a
“reluctant politician” to a “real challenger”, he said it was the Congress
chief's own efforts.
