"I am aware that four months is not much time, but he did not take any concrete step that could convey his honest intentions," he said during the 'Meet the Press' programme at the local Press Club on Wednesday.

He said much was expected from him as he got a historic mandate of the people of the country. But where was a reform on the labour laws? The PM has not moved an inch on the Lokpal issue. He also did not take any strong step to stop beef export from India. He still remains non-assertive on bringing black money to India.

"All these indications are creating suspicion in people's mind and bringing down the credibility of the new NDA government at the Centre," he said.

He said, "We need another JP Movement in the country that could mobilise people to take on the issue of drug, communal tension, poverty, corruption and other vices affecting society."

He said he was dejected with the current Indian polity that had no credible political party that could bring much-needed reforms.
