Congress Slams Modi Government Over Economy, Says Rural India ‘Driven Into Hole’
It is time for the Narendra Modi government to wake up, take note of “real statistics” and act to fix the problem, Congress says.
The Congress on Wednesday attacked the government over the state of the Indian economy, saying it is time for the Narendra Modi-led dispensation to wake up, take note of "real statistics" and act to fix the problem.
Congress spokesperson Rajeev Gowda said that there is an agrarian distress, but the government wants to ensure that no data comes out.
"Rural India has been driven into a hole by the Modi government. People benefitted from Minimum Support Price under the United Progressive Alliance government, but it has fallen under the Modi government," he said.
"The measures that are being taken are not resolving anything. A lot more trouble is on its way, monthly GST targets have not been met in 2019, it will result in a bigger fiscal deficit. Despite taking money from the Reserve Bank of India they will not be able to meet their budget targets," Gowda said.
