New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh once again took on the central government for what he claimed were BJP's faulty policies in the country. Speaking at a Bharat Bandh rally at Ramlila Maidan here on Monday, he said Lok Sabha elections next year will show what people at large feel about the current government.

Taking part in the rally called by Congress against soaring fuel prices in the country, Manmohan Singh took on PM Narendra Modi's policies since coming to power in 2014. "Modi government has done a number of things that were not in the interest of the nation. The time to change this government will come soon," he said.

The Modi Govt has completely failed in keeping its promises to the people of India.

There are 21 parties supporting the call for bandh against the current spate of petrol and diesel price hikes.
