Indian economy deteriorated due to demonetisation, hasty GST implementation: Congress

Thiruvananthapuram | Tuesday | 12th October, 2021

Summary:

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 12 (PTI) Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and former Union Minister Pallam Raju on Tuesday claimed that demonetisation, "hasty" GST implementation and COVID-19 management by the Centre has led to "rapid deterioration of the Indian economy".

"This is the trademark of the Narendra Modi government," Raju said while addressing a press conference at the KPCC office here along with Tharoor and KPCC president K Sudhakaran.

Another alleged central government failure Raju pointed out was that China was occupying areas inside the LoC.

He contended that this situation indicated "abject failure" of the foreign policy of the Modi government.

Raju said that the central government was taking policy decisions, like the three farm bills, without holding any meaningful consultations or discussions with the opposition.

He also alleged that the Centre has not taken any meaningful steps to resolve the concerns of the farmers.
