Incompetence of BJP govt has pushed back progressive economy, says Congress
FirstpostNew Delhi: The Congress slammed the BJP-led Centre on Tuesday over its handling of the economy and recent incidents of communal violence in some parts of the country, alleging that its “incompetence” has pushed back a progressive economy and accusing it of indulging in communal politics. “The Modi govt is not just breaking records in inflation, simultaneously it’s also wrecking our economy, destroying small businesses and household budgets,” senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said in a tweet. “The massive incompetence of BJP govt has pushed back a progressive and fastest-growing economy by over a decade,” he added. Another senior Congress leader, Kapil Sibal, also hit out at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, alleging that it has “mishandled” the economy, communalised politics and peddled lies.
