Manmohan Singh failed to make an `impact` on international stage: BJP

TheBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday said that former prime minister Manmohan Singh`s international tours had gone unnoticed because he failed to make any `impact` on the diplomatic front.

New Delhi, May 30 (ANI): TheBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday said that former prime minister Manmohan Singh`s international tours had gone unnoticed because he failed to make any `impact` on the diplomatic front.

"I think all the former prime ministers, including Manmohan Singh, had travelled as many trips as Modi ji. Manmohan Singh`s international travels went unnoticed because he didn`t make any impact on the international stage. India never mattered during the ten years of the Congress regime," said BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao.

"When Prime Minister Modi goes to any country, he makes headlines. When he had visited the US last year, it had received significant coverage in the US media which is the first for India. So by attacking the Prime Minister, the Congress is only acknowledging that all congress prime ministers in the past have proved to be an utter failure on the diplomatic front," he added.

Earlier, the Congress Party had demanded a disclosure of investments attracted by PM Modi during his foreign visits and had also criticised him for his frequent international tours.
