"Congress party notes with disappointment that the much hyped meeting of Prime Minister Modi with US President Trump has failed to meet India's expectations despite the public display of bonhomie and special friendship at the Houston 'Howdy Modi' extravaganza," he said in a statement. "There were no tangible outcomes of the visit which would justify the BJP celebration. "They do not have a special significance as is claimed by the government-BJP propaganda. The BJP euphoria on PM's visit is misplaced and there is no cause for celebration," he said.The Congress party will appreciate if the Prime Minister shares the government's assessment of his visit with the leaders of the political parties, he said. "It is high time that the government brings back focus on real issues and not deflect by engaging in boastful campaign propaganda," Sharma said.
